For http, get Dave Jones' http server via anonymous ftp from osu.edu.
For news, if you want to maintain a local database, you need ANU News,
available via anonymous ftp from kuhub.cc.ukans.edu. If you want to
read from a remote nntp server, then there are several choices:

ANU-News  - Not just a news reader, but a full-blown news system for VMS,
            including both an NNTP client and server.  Available by anonymous
            FTP from kuhub.cc.ukans.edu and sao.aarnet.edu.au.  VMS style user
	    interface.  Contact Geoff Huston (geoff@sao.aarnet.edu.au) for
	    more information.

NEWSRDR   - A news reader (NNTP client).  Requires access to a system running
            an NNTP server.  Available by anonymous FTP from public.tgv.com in
            directory [.MADISON.NEWSRDR].  A recent (but not the most recent)
            version also appears on the MultiNet CDROM distribution, under
            the [CONTRIBUTED-SOFTWARE.APPLICATIONS] directory.  It is also
            available through e-mail distribution from the BITNET mail server
	    address FILESERV@WKUVX1 (send a one-line e-mail message with the 
            text "HELP" in the message body for more information).  Contact
	    Matt Madison (madison@tgv.com) for more information.

VNEWS     - Another NNTP client.  Available by anonymous FTP from arizona.edu
            in directory [SOFTWARE.VMS.VNEWS].  UNIX style user interface.
	    Contact Joel Snyder (jms@arizona.edu) for more information.

VMS NEWS  - Yet another NNTP client.  Available by anonymous FTP from
            ftp.rz.uni-ulm.de in the directory /pub/VMS/communication.

DXRN/MXRN - DECwindows and Motif implementations of xrn, an X Windows based
            NNTP client. Available by anonymous FTP from decuac.dec.com,
            file /pub/DEC/dxrn.share.  Contact Rick Murphy
	    (murphy@burfle.dco.dec.com) for more information.

BULLETIN  - Includes a USENET news reading mode.  Send mail to    
            BULLETIN@ORYANA.PFC.MIT.EDU with the word "INFO" in the message
	    body for details on what BULLETIN is and how to get it.

FNEWS     - Basically a mixture of NEWSRDR and ANU-NEWS, providing a
            somewhat different full-screen interface and quick response to
            all 1800 groups.  It can be found in the pub/fnews/vms directory
            on zephyr.grace.cri.nz.  Contact Chrisp@grace.cri.nz for more
            information.

TIN       - TIN for VMS is available from hobbes.cc.duq.edu in [ANONYMOUS.TIN].
            It is compiled using GCC (which is also available from there in
            [ANONYMOUS.GNU]). It is also available from tango.cchs.su.edu.au in
            [FTP.VMS.TIN]

Many of these programs are also available from DECUS, either from the DECUS
Library or on recent VAX SIG tapes.
