I have submitted a new Internet-Draft to the ID folks. I hope it will be called "draft-ietf-nntpext-base-01.txt" and you can get an advanced copy at this URL: ftp://ftp.sesqui.net/pub/nntp/ietf/nntpext.txt I have not put any examples in this version. I expect to do that in the next version, but I wanted to be sure that the text made as much sense has possible before adding the examples. This version has some significant changes. Here are the highlights: 1. I have restructured the initial section explaining the various steps in a typical NNTP session. There was some internal inconsistancy in the initial version and this one should be more consistent. 2. This version replaces AUTHINFO SIMPLE with the original AUTHINFO. There was some confusion on which way we decided to go on this, so I chose what Nat from Microsoft remembered versus what I remembered. If I was right, let me know and I will do a different swap in the next version. 3. This version makes AUTHINFO an extension. This is consistent with what one of the AD's wanted to see in the new NNTP. 4. This version contants a version of draft 3 of the renumbering draft from Clive Feather. I think all the ideas are there, but I reformatted them a bit to fit in with the rest of the content. 5. I added a "CHARSET" command as an extension to make an attempt to deal with the character set issues in group names and pattern searches in header contents. I hope this addresses a concern raised by the other AD. 6. I extended the syntax of NEWNEWS so that four digit years could be specified. (y2k strikes again!) Please direct your comments to ietf-nntp@academ.com. The new version of the common-practices draft should be available around October 1, 1997.
