1.1     ! root        1: Updated hacks to change rn into rrn    28 June 1986
        !             2: 
        !             3: Everything is now automated to install the changes and have
        !             4: the source co-resident with the non-network version.  These
        !             5: changes also work with rn patches up to #27, and with the
        !             6: Georgia Tech patch to make "rn" compatible with 2.10.3 news.
        !             7: 
        !             8: To install, simply run the shell file MAKE_RRN_CHANGES in
        !             9: the "rn" source directory  (you may need to alter the file to
        !            10: include the location of the "patch" command).  After the file is
        !            11: run, "ifdef" changes for the "rrn" version will have been included
        !            12: in strategic locations, and a few extra shell files should be
        !            13: in place.  Running "Configure" and answering the questions should
        !            14: provide you with either the local version (rn) or the network version
        !            15: (rrn).
        !            16: 
        !            17: Good luck.
        !            18: 
        !            19: Gene Spafford, (gatech!spaf)
        !            20: [Thanks, Gene!  --Phil]
        !            21: 
        !            22: ----------
        !            23: 
        !            24: [You should ignore this, Gene's stuff is far better --Phil]

        !            26: Hacks to change rn into rrn            31 August 1985
        !            27: 
        !            28:      The following steps should be followed to set up "rrn" on
        !            29: your system.  The files in this directory are somewhat modified
        !            30: versions of those distributed with normal rn 4.3.  However, some
        !            31: things were overly-difficult to change, and you will have to
        !            32: hack them in by hand later.  Fortunately, that's mostly
        !            33: trivial.
        !            34: 
        !            35:      1. Run "Configure", as usual.  However, make one change --
        !            36:        make your news spool directory be "/tmp", instead of
        !            37:        whatever it would normally be.
        !            38: 
        !            39:      2. Edit the file "config.h".  Append two lines to the end of
        !            40:        the file:
        !            41: 
        !            42:        #define SERVER
        !            43:        #define SERVER_HOST     "xxx"
        !            44: 
        !            45:        The first line tells the compiler that you want the
        !            46:        remote news reading hacks compiled in.  The second
        !            47:        tells it that the host to query for news and to send
        !            48:        posted articles to is "xxx".  Obviously, "xxx" should be
        !            49:        changed to whatever machine name is apropriate.
        !            50:        
        !            51:      3. Type "make"...
        !            52:
