For example, it says "the process is not documented here" at one N point.  I've played with this stuff and figured it out.  I sent the following E instructions to the person downstream and we were able to use them to N successfully bring up a news feed.  These directions were originally VERY siteO specific.  I've tried to generalize some, but it is not totally general.  Also, N these instructions may not be optimal (i.e. I may have done unnecessary steps)O and may not work with all configurations of News.  These directions also do not I address NNTP_DECM.EXE, but the differences are adquately explained in the / manual already. (Enough disclaimers I think :).   L I'm sending them out in hopes that someone in netland will benefit from themI and maybe that Geoff can clean them up somewhat and combine them with the 4 existing material in the next release of the manual.     Here are the steps:   I 1.  Create an account which looks like the following (you can use any UIC 
     however):   F Username: NNTP$SERVER                      Owner:  nntp$server defaultL Account:  DECNET                           UIC:    [376,377] ([NNTP$SERVER])3 CLI:      DCL                              Tables:  ! Default:  NEWS_ROOT:[NNTP$SERVER] 

You need to give the account some type of password and remember it belowA     (after you do that step, it doesn't matter if you forget it).   N 2.  Give NNTP$SERVER a disk quota if it is on a drive with disk quota enabled.  B 3.  Create a directory NEWS_DEVICE:[NNTP$SERVER] which is owned by     NNTP$SERVER.  A 4.
