What I've done to get rn/rrn running on NeXT release 0.9 and
SunOS 4.0.3 has been posted to news.software.b as a 550-line
article.  If you are reading this from BITNET's NEXT-L
redistribution, my apologies in advance.  Please do not request
mailed copies to EBCDIC sites.  news.software.b readers may
suggest improvements or corrections; please follow the discussion
there.

I noticed that the 1.0 release (yes, we have it running on two
machines, with many more to follow) has the gnus documentation,
but not gnus itself.  I FTPed it from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.
It's an easy install (wow!) and works well, but slowly.  You
should use rn's newsetup to create an initial .newsrc; gnus
doesn't do as good a job on its own.
