I also had a lot of trouble getting trn to run, and (between core dumps)
I didn't really like the interface much.  I don't understand all the fuss
over trn.  I find that nn is much more robust and if I'm not mistaken
also follows "threads".  Would someone who has used both like to comment?
Are nn and trn comparable in features?  Am I missing out on something
trn does that nn doesn't do?
