 Preface   9           T|ere are several USENET news-related utilities =           a|ailable for VMS, some of which provide full local =           storage of news and UUCP protocol support, and some <           of which provide emulation of various network news-           readers available for UNIX systems.   <           With the advent of NNTP, it becomes easier to gain<           access to USENET news by using one local system to=           store news and using "remote" news readers on other            systems.  =           The NEWSRDR utility provides an interface to USENET 9           news that should be more familiar to VMS users. ?           NEWSRDR attempts to follow the conventions of the VMS @           MAIL utility in its presentation and command structure 

When set, =              your NEWSRDR profile is saved automatically when =              a READ/NEW or READ/NEXT/NEW command visits a new ?              newsgroup, and when you SPAWN or ATTACH to another               process.   9           o  Added prompt after the "keep file containing @              message" question on aborted postings and mailings,A              so the user can specify the name of a file where the (              message should be retained.  7           o  POST and REPLY now verify the existence of =              newsgroups listed on the /FOLLOWUP_TO qualifier.   ?           o  Added /APPROVED, /EXPIRES, /KEYWORDS, and /SUMMARY 7              qualifiers to the POST and REPLY commands.   <           o  Fixed minor bug in using EDT with NEWSRDR. Also>              changed the way NEWSRDR is compiled and linked on?              AXP systems so that EDT (which is a translated VAX                image) can be used.  >           o  Added support for the NNTP extended command XHDR.  ?           NEWSRDR V4.2 included the following new features over            V4.1:   8           o  Added CURRENT/EDIT, to allow viewing of the>              current article using the text editor. Also added>              CURRENT/FULL_HEADERS, to display the article with,              all available headers included.  A           o  Added SET [NO]AUTO_READ_NEW. By default the READ/NEW =              commands, when they run out of new articles in a =              newsgroup, visit the next newsgroup that has new ?              articles and immediately show you the first unseen ?              article.

The default is /UPDATE=FULL, which <           causes NEWSRDR to obtain information from the NNTP@           server about all available newsgroups. You can specify;           /UPDATE=PARTIAL, which has the same effect as the :           UPDATE/PARTIAL command, or /NOUPDATE, to have no           updates occur at all.   ;           You can also specify /UPDATE=BOTH, which causes a ?           full update to occur, immediate followed by a partial <           update.
