A new version of DXRN/MXRN are available. They track changes made to the
original code (XRN) up to XRN V6.14. Many new features and bugs fixed.

For those who don't know, DXRN is a DECwindows (XUI) version of XRN.
MXRN is a Motif (V1.0 or V1.1) version of XRN. Both have been tested on
various DEC systems, both VMS and ULTRIX.

The VMS kit for this release provides support for TCP/IP products other
than DEC's UCX. (Thanks to the contributors!)

How to get DXRN:
(For ULTRIX:)
% ftp gatekeeper.dec.com
user: anonymous
password: guest
ftp> cd pub/DEC
ftp> binary
ftp> get dxrn.tar.Z
ftp> quit
% uncompress dxrn.tar.Z
% tar xf dxrn.tar

(For VMS:)

$ ftp gatekeeper.dec.com
user:anonymous
password: guest
ftp> cd pub/DEC
ftp> get dxrn.share
ftp> quit
$ @dxrn.share

How to install DXRN:

0. See the file CHANGES for a list of changes from the last release.

1. Does an NNTP server (version 1.5 or greater) exist on your network?
   - if not, get the NNTP server code and install it
     (via anonymous ftp from ucbvax.berkeley.edu)
   - make sure that XHDR (in nntp/common/conf.h) was defined
     when your NNTP server was installed.
     (XRN will tell you if it has not been defined)

2. Look at `config.h' and make the necessary modifications
   (default settings, location of various files, domain name, etc.)
   (VMS Users need to look at clientlib.c and define the proper 
    symbol for the TCP/IP they're using.)

   ** Note: Unless you want to look like you're coming from DEC, it's
            important to edit at least the 'domain' and 'organization'
            defines in config.h. You've been warned.

3. Make dxrn
   
   (For ULTRIX:)

   a. Build dxrn

	  make

   b. Build mxrn

	  make -f Makefile.motif


   (For VMS:)

   a. Build dxrn:

	$ @make-dxrn

   b. Build mxrn:

	$ @make-mxrn
