Thanks to everybody who offered suggestions about getting the
postnews part of rrn up and running.  Here is a summary of
the fix that worked:

nntp 1.5.9
rn from lib.tmc.edu	(~10/25/90)

In addition to the standard rn "Configure" installation,
with some careful study of the config.h file to confirm
that files and directories are correctly specified,I had 
to do two other things to get (rn2) rrn working:

1)  take out -O (optimization) from cc in the Makefile
(fixed the "interp buffer overflow problem...")

2)  fix the "Pnews" script (?) so that it found "inews" in the right
place (where nntp installed /usr/local/bin/inews) rather
than /usr/news/inews, where it was looking.

3)  when I tested Pnews then, it still doesn't find/usr/news/moderators, 
but I think that it then automatically
(as rrn) looks to the server machine for this file.

4)  i then successfully posted to our local uiuc.tst!!!
