I don't know of a full rrn implementation for VMS, but VNEWS, an enhanced
version of the Unix(tm) vn is available for use with MultiNet or Wollongong
TCP/IP from the node "krypton.arc.nasa.gov". There are seperate versions for
the two versions of TCP. If you can get a DECnet based system to act as a news
server, you could get the DECnet NNTP object from ANUnews and use it and not
need any TCP/IP package on the VAX.
