        !             2: Hacks to change rn into rrn            31 August 1985
        !             3: 
        !             4:      The following steps should be followed to set up "rrn" on
        !             5: your system.  The files in this directory are somewhat modified
        !             6: versions of those distributed with normal rn 4.3.  However, some
        !             7: things were overly-difficult to change, and you will have to
        !             8: hack them in by hand later.  Fortunately, that's mostly
        !             9: trivial.
        !            10: 
        !            11:      1. Run "Configure", as usual.  However, make one change --
        !            12:        make your news spool directory be "/tmp", instead of
        !            13:        whatever it would normally be.
        !            14: 
        !            15:      2. Edit the file "config.h".  Append two lines to the end of
        !            16:        the file:
        !            17: 
        !            18:        #define SERVER
        !            19:        #define SERVER_HOST     "xxx"
        !            20: 
        !            21:        The first line tells the compiler that you want the
        !            22:        remote news reading hacks compiled in.  The second
        !            23:        tells it that the host to query for news and to send
        !            24:        posted articles to is "xxx".  Obviously, "xxx" should be
        !            25:        changed to whatever machine name is apropriate.
        !            26:
