I can find the source but not executables nor any documentation. Can anyone help? I ported it to my company's board-based TCP/IP. From what I understand of it, it is just a hacked-up version of RN to run on a PC, and a sloppy job at that. You have to have a drive I: mapped to create temporary files, if certain environment variables aren't set (like FULLNAME) it just blows up, and there is no posting ability until you write your own PNEWS. But, it is the easiest solution right now, as no one will have GNU Emacs, let alone GNUS, up and running on a PC in the near future! -- Mark Towfigh, Racal InterLan, Inc. towfiq@interlan.Interlan.COM W: (508) 263-9929 H: (617) 488-2818 uunet!interlan!towfiq "The Earth is but One Country, and Mankind its Citizens" -- Baha'u'llah
