Hi all,

I am in the middle of installing news v 5.8 and would like to have a few
points cleared up.

1)  For a client installation, it says that no special installation is
necessary.  Yet in the client upgrade section, it says that it's necessary
to install NNTP_DEC.EXE in the NCP database.  Surely in all cases it is
important to have an nntp object listed?

2)  I am setting this vms client to feed off an ultrix server.  Given this,
are the conditional compilation of NNTP_FEED and NEWSREMCLIENT with the
defininition DECNETSTREAM the **** only **** modifications?  Or do I also
have to modify the object listed in point 1) as well?

Thanks in advance.

p.s.  If people like, I will keep a log of my experiences with a vms-ultrix
      setup and will post or mail any bugs and fixes I find.
