Post it (or diffs), please!

For others - I have hacked VN to run on VAX/VMS with WIN/TCP
using an nntp server via TCP/IP.
It is functional supporting reading and saving + system commands. No
posting and replying (yet?)

The PC version of RN could be a good porting base for VMS - the nntp
clientlib is available.
