Does anyone have any information on the current status of the "finalized"
release of CNEWS and/or News 3.0 ??? I haven't heard anything in a few
months.
Thanks in advance.
Mark.

Word is that a beta release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Netnews (that's
news 3.0 for the unenlightened) will be publically available within
a couple weeks. It will be made available for anonymous FTP from a
couple of Internet sites and I'll probably make it available for
anonymous UUCP from killer.

Actually, it's up to patch level 7 now. I'm six weeks late releasing the level
7 kits because I have been hip-deep in alligators since mid-fall. My hardware
flaked out, I've run out of money and had to spend time on paying contracts,
and I've been trying to resolve all reported bugs before issuing a complete
new distribution to the beta list.
Have patience please, people. The new level will be worth the wait. Among
other things, it has a) simpler and more powerful feed multicasting control,
b) netnews-CompuServe bidirectional gatewaying, c) fully implemented
flexgroups; and it will have fixes for all reported bugs. Also, I have a TB+
now (thanks to the nice people at Telebit) and will also be making the sources
available for anonymous ftp from linc.cis.upenn.edu.
I intend `level 8' to be public release. I wanted to do that Jan 1 1989, but
couldn't. At the rate that new-bug reports have been converging towards zero,
I should be able to release level 8 at most three weeks after the beta list
sinks its teeth into level 7.
And I've still got a sword of Damocles over my head. Anybody got a spare
workstation they want to donate?. I'm serious. The 386 box I'm typing on
could be yanked any day, and full time work on this has left me without
enough bux for a new one...:-( :-( :-(

I did, along with the first five patches. I tried installing the patches,
and it broke down on the third set (The second set also caused quite a
few complaints). Anyhow, is there a copy with the patches already installed?
And has anyone else had problems installing the patches or is it just me?
Any help would be appreciated.

sun.soe.clarkson.edu in pub/news-3.0, called Patchkit6.Z, courtesy of
James Van Artsdalen. This may help you.
