[papaya.bbn!rsalz@BBN.COM (Rich Salz)]

I don't know anything about this, other than you can FTP to
flash.bellcore.com and pick it up the file
	pub/lispm/news-reader/news-4-0-distribution.reel

;;; **************************************************************************
;;;
;;; This system is an NNTP-based News Browser for the Symbolics LISP Machine.
;;;
;;; It is a graphical mouse-based interface for browsing and collecting news, 
;;; with various facilities for organising and collating articles and 
;;; newsgroups.  There are some experimental hypertext, colour and remote X11
;;; features.  This version is for Genera 8.0 and supports I,G and L machines
;;; with monochrome and color cadbuffer I/II screens. 
;;;
;;; **************************************************************************
;;; 
;;; Requirements for this version
;;; 
;;;    Symbolics Genera 8.0 or later with the IP-TCP layered product.
;;;    A machine accessible via TCP providing NNTP.
;;;
;;; **************************************************************************
;;; 
;;; Version 4.0 Installation 
;;;
;;; 0.  FTP the source distribution from flash.bellcore.com in the directory:
;;;     pub/lispm/news-reader/news-4-0-distribution.reel to a file accessible
;;;     to the LISPM (<pathname>).  Don't forget to set BINARY mode.  If you 
;;;     want to save network traffic and can uncompress with UN*X, use the 
;;;     compressed version.
;;; 
;;; 1.  Ensure that SYS:NEWS;**;*.*.* translates to something acceptable.
;;;     Perform a :Restore Distribution :use disk yes, with the <pathname>
;;; 
;;; 2.	Define the NNTP Server to the system.  This is either a machine name, 
;;;     or list of such.  Specify by choosing one of:
;;; 	a) set a property NEWS-SERVER <server> on your user namespace object
;;;     b) set a property NEWS-SERVER <server> on your site namespace object
;;; 	   e.g.  User Property: NEWS-SERVER BELLCORE
;;; 	c) set the news:*news-server* variable
;;;        (setq news:*news-server* '("bellcore" "porthos"))
;;;     d) wait for the prompt when starting up the news reader.
;;;
;;; 3.	Add the machine(s) to your namespace with a service line:
;;; 	   Service: NEWS TCP NNTP
;;; 
;;; 4.	:Load System "NEWS" (redefines <Select>-N to select the News Reader)
;;;
;;; 5.	Use the reader; report bugs/fixes/suggestions using the Gripe Command.
