NNTP 1.5.10 is now released in the full release kit. You can download this
from gazette.bcm.tmc.edu (128.249.2.2) or lib.tmc.edu (129.106.5.1) from the
public directory via ftp. A patch kit for converting 1.5.9 to 1.5.10 will
be release on the 3rd of September.

This kit has been tested by both CNEWS and BNEWS sites. It has not be
throughly tested on machines that have a System V-feel to them. It should
work fine on sites that are BSD-derived. This will be the last release of
NNTP until 1991. Enjoy.

	Fixes to spawn.c to allow it to work correctly with CNEWS.
