If this is a repost, sorry, but it appeared as though our USENET feed failed

A while back (like in a year or two ago) somebody posted a game call 'warp'
that modified the Configure script to handle Apollo's.  I applied these
changes to the Configure that came with 'rn'.  Here is all I had to do:
*** Configure.org	Wed Jul 12 10:14:52 1989
--- Configure	Wed Jul 12 10:59:50 1989
***************
*** 260,266 ****
  else
      echo " "
      echo "The archiver doesn't think $libc is a reasonable library."
!     exit 1
  fi
  
  : make some quick guesses about what we are up against
--- 260,272 ----
  else
      echo " "
      echo "The archiver doesn't think $libc is a reasonable library."
!     echo "Trying nm instead..."
!     if nm -g $libc > libc.list; then
! 	echo "Done.  Maybe this is Unicos, or an Apollo?"
!     else
! 	echo "That didn't work either.  Giving up."
! 	exit 1
!     fi
  fi
  
  : make some quick guesses about what we are up against



Hope this helps
