What is WinVN?
==============

WinVN is an NNTP newsreader for the Microsoft Windows family.  You can use
it to read and post Usenet News, and send email via the SMTP or MAPI
protocols.  There are two version of WinVN:
  WinVN 16-bit   For Windows and Windows for Workgroups
  WinVN 32-bit   *Only* for Windows NT and Windows 95


Requirements
============

1) An appropriate operating system: Windows, Windows for Workgroups,
   Windows NT, or Windows 95.

2) A correct installation as described below.

3) An appropriate network connection with a TCP/IP stack and either a
   WINSOCK.DLL or a WSOCKETS.DLL.  See Installation Instructions below.

4) An NNTP News Server that supports at least one of the following NNTP
   extensions:
     XHDR    Most news servers can do this
     XOVER   INN is a news server that does XOVER

   WinVN will use XOVER, a better protocol, if your server supports it.
   You need the name or address of the server.  A few news servers require
   a username and password for authentication--most do not.  Contact your
   news server's administrator if in doubt.


Installation Instructions
=========================

0) Read this file, the help file, and the FAQ.  They will answer most of
   your questions.

1) Create a WinVN directory and unzip the archive into this directory.

2) *** DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! ***
   WinVN 16-bit:
     Move (*** DO NOT COPY!!! ***) CTL3DV2.DLL into your 
      \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. There must be *one and only one* 
      instance of this file on your disk! or you will get a 
      CTL3DV2.DLL was not installed correctly message.  This message
      is put out by the authors of CTL3DV2.DLL and not by WinVN!  We
      can't do anything about that.

   WinVN 32-bit:
     Move (*don't copy*) CTL3D32.DLL into your %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory.
     There must be *one and only one* instance of this file on your disk!

3) This is very important!  Choose the appropriate Winsock interface by
   editing the GenSockDLL entry in the Communications section of your
   WINVN.INI.  See below for details.

   WinVN 16-bit:
     GWINSOCK.DLL   The default, which should work in most cases
     PWKSOCK.DLL    For pre Winsock 1.1 compliant TCP/IP stacks
     GENASYNC.DLL   Faster with modem and Trumpet or NetManage products
   WinVN 32-bit:
     GWINSOCK.DLL   The default, which should work in all cases


   Details
   -------
     You will have one of the following two types of TCP/IP stacks:

     Winsock v1.1 (or higher) TCP/IP stack and WINSOCK.DLL:
       (Examples: Microsoft TCP/IP, Trumpet, PC/TCP, Windows NT,
	Windows 95, NetManage TCP/IP, LanManager 2.2, DEC Pathworks 5.1)

       a) Make sure WINSOCK.DLL is in your path before starting Windows.
       b) Make sure the GenSockDLL entry in the Communications section
	  of your WINVN.INI is set to GWINSOCK.DLL or GENASYNC.DLL, as
	  appropriate.

       SPECIAL NOTE: If you are using later versions of the Trumpet or
       NetManage (Chameleon) products, you will get better performance over
       a modem with GENASYNC.DLL rather than GWINSOCK.DLL.

     *or*

     Non-Winsock TCP/IP stack and WSOCKETS.DLL:
       (Examples: DEC Pathworks 4.1 or Microsoft LanManager 2.1a)

       a) Make sure WSOCKETS.DLL is in your path before starting Windows.
       b) Make sure the GenSockDLL entry in the Communications section
	  of your WINVN.INI is set to PWKSOCK.DLL.

     NOTE: GWINSOCK.DLL, GENASYNC.DLL and PWKSOCK.DLL are not replacements
     for your TCP/IP stack's own socket DLLs--they use them.  For example,
     GWINSOCK.DLL talks to WINSOCK.DLL, and PWKSOCK.DLL talks to WSOCKETS.DLL.

4) Configure the Communications Options.  The first time you start WinVN
   you will be asked to configure these options.  You must have the name or
   address of your news server.  The TCP port should be NNTP or 119 if the
   former does not work.  The Username and Password should *only* be
   filled in if your news server requires them for authentication.
   Contact your news server's administrator if in doubt.

   If you are using SMTP mail, fill in the appropriate SMTP host name or
   address.  See the help file for more information.

5) Configure your Personal Info.  The first time you start WinVN
   you will be asked for your name, email address, and organization.  Make
   sure you provide a valid email address.

How to get the latest version
=============================

The official FTP site for WinVN is at ftp://ftp.ksc.nasa.gov/pub/winvn/

Always use FTP.KSC.NASA.GOV to get only the IP number that is outside the
firewall.  Always check there for the latest binaries and sources.  Other
sites that keep fairly current with the main site are:
	ripem.msu.edu       (/pub/pc/win/winvn/titan.ksc.nasa.gov/)
  and   shannon.mee.tcd.ie  (/winvn)

Matching hardcopy documentation by Jim Dumoulin (dumoulin@titan.ksc.nasa.gov)
for this release is also available on ftp.ksc.nasa.gov.


Contacting the developers
=========================

Before you report bugs or request features, get the latest version of
WinVN as described in the section above.  You may find your issues
have already been addressed.  You should also try to verify that your
machine, TCP/IP stack, and WinVN are set up properly.

Email:
  You can send comments to the WinVN developers by sending mail to
  winvn@news.ksc.nasa.gov.

Mailing List:
  If you don't mind a lot of traffic on WinVN, you can join the developers
  mailing list by a mail message to majordomo@news.ksc.nasa.gov with the
  Subject line blank and the contents of the message "subscribe winvn".
  To get off the mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe winvn" to
  the same address.

Newsgroup:
  An easy way to keep up on WinVN developments is to point your newsreader
  at news.ksc.nasa.gov (currently 128.159.4.21 for those of you with
  broken DNS's but soon to be changing to 163.205.1.3).  There should be a
  single newsgroup, mail.winvn, which is a gatewayed version of the mailing
  list.  Announcements and discussions of common problems can be found here.
  It's very likely the best place to get the scoop on _your_ problem.  If
  mail gets much worse, we may consider starting an alt newsgroup.

WWW:
  A World Wide Web node has been developed for WinVN by Mike Downs
  (downsm@titan.ksc.nasa.gov) and is available at the following URL:
  http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/software/winvn/winvn.html.
