	I have NN up and working on 386/ix (1.8.3) and have m-80386ix.h and
an s-386ix.h header set.  I have even played around a bit with it and since
I haven managed to make rn/vrn work with the beta TMNN, I am happy to have a
very nice interface to netnews that works with TMNN.  ( I just have to convince
tmnn expire to read NN rc files.)  It does deal with the volatile expire 
features of tmnn (news 3.0).
