		FNEWS FAQ, Monthly posting part 1 of 1
		--------------------------------------

FNEWS is a fast full screen interactive news reader designed for VMS.
It out performs other news readers by dynamically caching the indexes
of groups which are read regularly.   
It gives excellent performance even when your news feed is via a slow
wide area link (even at speeds as low as 9600 baud). 
The user interface is designed for both ease of use and speed so that it
works well even on slow 2400 or 300 baud modems.

The current release is version 2.2, you can get it from:
	grunt.marc.cri.nz pub/fnews
It is available for both VAX and ALPHA.

How to get it?
--------------
	ftp grunt.marc.cri.nz
	cd pub/fnews/alpha		or pub/fnews/vms
	ascii
	get install.txt
	get extract.com
	binary
	get lzdcmp.exe
	get fnews.bck_z

	$ print install.txt
