Replying to Western Australia from the East cost of Asutralia via North Dakota

The implementation of NNTP using DECnet on Ultrix has some funnies going on in
the Ultrix side, and the VMS side QIO's need to use the MULTIPLE modifier in
order to correctly sync with the Ultrix side.
     
Leonard Peirce is working on this code, and has promised to send the updates to
me when they are complete.
     
>Also, is there a version of anu-news available that uses DEC TCP/IP.
     
I have an old copy of the QIO calls for the DEC product, but they are probably
out of date, and as I don't have access to the product itself at the moment,
I have not done any work on it.
