I am attempting to setup Larry Wall's read news program (rn)
on our network and have some questions for those of you who have
successfully managed to install the program.

First, we are running with Apollo 3000, 3500 and 4000's 
OS 10.2 under System V.

I managed to compile the rn software with only minimal changes, however
this software was written to work with BSD , we are also using Apollo's
bmail which seems to be incompatable with everything.  After many hours
of trying to make it work I gave up and tried compiling rrn. This time
I was missing two files that were not included in the tar file. 
server.h and clientlib.c.

Is there an Apollo version of the readnews software around?  I spoke
to an Apollo representative who claims that Apollo does not have such
a product, infact he was not aware that such a product existed.  I find
that hard to believe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave.
