Rn is not a complex beast (Its author is, but that's another
story). The reason there are so many patches to Rn is twofold:

   (a) Like any other program having to interface with a variety
       of Unixii (Unixes?), bugs unexpected by the author arise.

   (b) Rn has not been released for a while, so patches
       accumulate.

Larry is about to start work on the next release of Rn. This
should incorporate a number of nifty features.

I do suggest you look into getting Rn. It is available from
mod.sources, or from the author (use my return address, change
faigin to lwall). It is easy to install (it automatically
configures itself) and to use.
