+DNEWS Feature list
+==================
+
+ Dynamic sucking feed.
+ A sucking feed may use as little as 10% of the normal
+ disk space and network bandwidth.
+ By only getting news items that people usually read
+ very large savings are possible particularly for small
+ sites & workgroups. A hundred users can be supported
+ on 100 MB depending on their reading habbits!
+ I run a single user server on my NT as a background
+ service, it's using less than 5MB.
+ Flexible expire settings
+ By allowing expiration by 'number of items' low volume groups
+ become much more useful. Also by allowing settings
+ which change with disk space the system is much more
+ stable to large influxes of news.
+ Flexible access restrictions
+ Reading and Posting access can be given separately to
+ to different users and selections of news groups.
+ Binarys available for common platforms
+ On many platforms you do not need to build the binary
+ yourself, e.g. VMS, (VAX & ALPHA), Solaris, Linux, Windows NT
+ Email confirmation of posts
+ DNEWS can be configured to send email confirmations as it
+ sends items up to a main news server. This gives users
+ a clear record of a posted item and it's successful
+ transfer into the 'net'.
+ Items stored in a database
+ Items are stored in a database which puts items together
+ in blocks of 100. This saves directory entries, inodes,
+ and the empty space usually wasted due to blocking factors.
+ Also file open and closes are minimized, this is essential
+ on systems where this is a 'costly' operation, e.g. VMS.
+ Compiling and porting relatively easy
+ DNEWS was designed to be portable from the ground up, it
+ does not rely on obscure UNIX features.
+ Installation easy, totally configurable without recompiling
+ DNEWS can be configured without recompiling and all
+ the configuration scripts have been simplified where
+ possible.
+ Documentated
+ A user manual is available.
+ Supported
+ EMAIL support is available for help with installation
+ and management.
+ Speed
+ On comparable systems DNEWS typically out performs other
+ news software, (even the likes of CNEWS and INN in some
+ instances), other VMS news servers don't even come close.
+ This is partly because DNEWS uses a more advanced database
+ to store the news items. The difference is also very
+ noteable on smaller systems (e.g. Linux)
+ XOVER implemented in software
+ No xover database is created, the normal DNEWS database
+ is fast enough to create this information 'on the fly'
+ Streaming support
+ Streaming NNTP extensions are built in.
+ Strictly limited machine impact due to single threaded nature.
+ DNEWS runs on a single process, this speeds up connect
+ time as a process does not need to be created, and it
+ self-limits the impact on the system.
+Limitations
+===========
+
+ DNEWS does not store items in the same file structure as used by
+ INN and CNEWS, so old software which accesses these files directly
+ will not work.
