	On this site we all use `vn', which the news gurus assure me is
infinetly superior to `rn'. The source may well be available by e-mail to
`postmaster@axion.bt.co.uk', though it's 1:30 a.m. so I can't check !!!

	There is also an X-windows version called `xrn' which I haven't had
a chance to try yet.
