Yes, I just installed ANU-News V6.0-2 on my VMS/UCX system. The newsreader
works fine after correcting two small bugs in NEWSREMCLIENT.C. At least
when using UCX V1.3 there is a name conflict then. You have to rename
the variable sockaddr to something different (I chose socketaddr) and
there is one else too much.

/*   VCH001 changed sockaddr to socketaddr fro name cludge with UCX V1.3  */
/*   struct sockaddr {  */
struct socketaddr {
  short inet_family;
  short inet_port;
  int inet_adrs;
  char bklb[8];
  };


if UCX
/* VCH001 else is wrong!  else if (proto == UCXTCP) { */
  if (proto == UCXTCP) {
#if UCXQIOS
    if (sys$assign(c$dsc("BG:"),&net_chan,0,0) & 1) {

Afterwards building ANUNEWS via NEWSBUILD.COM should be okay. At least the
NEWSreader is up and running. The code for the NNTPserver and UCX seems to
be totally untested. I fixed a lot of syntax errors and some bugs but
can't get it to work till now.

Feel free to contact me in case you have more questions,
Volker
