                      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:        
                     27:      3. Type "make"...
                     28:
