NautNews Alpha Version DownLoad and Installation Instructions NautNews is an On/Offline reader/poster for usenet news, which runs under Windows 3.1 or higher, communicating with an NNTP news host via a Winsock interface to the internet. Files Included: NautNews Beta is distributed as a zip file: nn0xxb.zip contains all of the files for NautNews Version 0.xx Beta, including support files and all required dynamic link libraries. Unfortunately it's a pretty big file, so you may want to download the various components separately. The ftp directory "components" includes: nn0xxbx.zip - just the executable files for version 0.xx beta, plus the buglist and the documentation files that change from release to release. nnsuppt.zip - various dynamic link libraries, custom controls, etc. that will usually not change from release to release. vbrun300.zip - vbrun300.dll which you may have from other sources. msajt110.zip - msajt110.dll which you may have from other sources. You will need the contents of all of these files, but you may already have portions of this distribution from earlier releases or other sources. If you run into problems, please download the full set to make sure you are current. Unzip the distribution file(s) into a directory which will be the root of your news file system. You will find several exe files, which should reside in this directory. There are also several vbx files, several dll files, and the file ipport.lic, which Microsoft says should be installed in you windows system directory. (But the programs will run just fine if you leave them where they are.) install.wri provides further instructions to install NautNews and get started. about.wri provides a description of NautNews, including a revision history.
