+specifically from the use or reproduction of the contents of this file, it is

+
+This distribution contains all the parts necessary to build a replacement
+for the inews that inject locally created news articles into the news system
+for processing and distribution. It is important to note that this software
+is only to be installed on CLIENT systems. There is a different software
+distribution that is install on SERVER systems. Hopefully, this will make
+it much easier for news administrators and systems managers in getting NNTP
+up and running without having to read and deciper the cryptic details of
+how NNTP and netnews work.
+
+Once you have unpacked the distribution, you run the Configure program to
+set up the Makefile and config.h files. Then you run a make to create
+the inews program. To install it, type "make install" while running as
+the super user.
+
+If you want to use this kit with older NNTP distibutions or older news
+reader software that expects the distribution layout of NNTP version 1.5,
+make a directory called common and copy all the softeware from this
+distibution to that directory. If you already have NNTP 1.5 somewhere, you
+can just copy all this software into the common directory that is there.
+Change directories to where you just copied all the software and type
+"make compat" and this will set up the needed evironment for backwards
+compatibility.
+
+This software has been tested on the following platforms:
+
+Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3
+Solbourne running OS/MP 4.1B.
+Vax 3500 running Ultrix 3.1
+386 running Interactive System V release 3.2 (with TCP 1.2).
+HP 9000/823 with HP-UX A.08.00 E.
+Silicon Graphics IRIS 4D with IRIX 4.0.5F.
+Stardent 3000 running OS 4.2.
+BSDI/386 Gamma 0.9 release.
+
+Bugs, enhancements and other comments should be directed to "nntp@tmc.edu"
+or the newsgroup "news.software.nntp"
