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]
                     25: 
                     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:
