    Many VAX VMS sites are now implimenting ANU NEWS by Geoff  Huston.
    This is an ideal programme for reading the BIONET Bboards that are
    distributed on USENET. 

    I should imagine that at many sites the BIONET messages are  still
    sent  to individuals and everyone gets them delivered to their own
    personal mailbox. This eats into your disk quota then you have the
    hassle of cleaning out your mail box every now and then. A  better
    way  to  go  would  be to have the BIONET Bboards delivered to ANU
    NEWS at your host site, and then for everyone  who  interested  to
    use  ANU  NEWS  for reading and replying to BIONET. The advantages
    are enormous. Here are the detail about the new PD release of  ANU
    NEWS  V5.8  (extracted from ANU NEWS and posted to BIONET with ANU
    NEWS)

This short note is to announce the release of V5.8 of the ANU NEWS program.

This version addresses most of the reported bugs with NEWS V5.7 and earlier,
and includes some surgery on the VMS implementation of NNTP to fix some logical
problems in the support of the POST command. 

As with previous versions, the source, documentation and executables (compiled
under VMS V5 this time) are available using PSI_COPY from the DTE
(505)262440032 as NEWS_V58*.BCK. 

Again I would appreciate any assistance with distribution that can be offerred
- particularly if someone could drag the distribution over PSI to an
ftp-accessible location that would be appreciated by many NEWS sites. 

Please address any specific queries about NEWS as mail to myself.
