News articles are extracted via NNTP or disk based ANUNEWS.J The PACKASM utility was created as a time saver; many users are spending aE lot of time manually unpacking packages -- the PACKASM utility should  minimize that time.   H To use the utility, build the source using the mms file or using the DCLI command file. Edit the PACKASM.CLD file and change the file specification ? for the PACKASM image, or install PACKASM as a foreign command.   H If you are using MMS on an OpenVMS AXP system, you must define the macro, __ALPHA (e.g. $ MMS/MACRO=("__ALPHA=TRUE")).  G NNTP is supported via TCP and DECNET. The following TCP/IP packages are 
 supported:  % 		MULTINET -- TGV's multinet product. / 		UCX	 -- Digital's TCP/IP services for OpenVMS / 		TWG	 -- The Wollongong Group's TCP/IP product 7 		TCPWARE	 -- Process Software's TCPWARE TCP/IP product 5 		FUSION	 -- Network Research's Fusion TCP/IP product % 		CMU-Tek  -- Default TCP/IP package.   I By default CMU-Tek TCP/IP is supported. If you want to use another TCP/IP H package to access an NNTP server, use the above name as an option to one of the BUILD procedures.   For example: 		$ @BUILD MULTINET  		    -- OR --0 		$ MMS/MACRO=("MULTINET=TRUE",["__ALPHA=TRUE"])  7 See PACKASM.DOC for more details on the PACKASM utility H See PACKASM.HLP for details on the DCL command line syntax and examples.> See the Release notes for new features since the last version.I -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Acknowledgements:   I  * Thanks to Hunter Goatley for his time testing and identifying bugs, in @    addition to his ideas for improvement of the PACKASM utility.
