I have rrn working fine on a ring of SR9.7 Apollos using a 4.3 BSD VAX
as a server.  I got an already working version of rrn (v4.3 patch 39)
from one of the VAXes, and then applied some changes sent to me by
Woody Kellum (lwk@caen.engin.umich.edu).  Because of the filename/case
sensitivity/etc non-UNIXisms, you need to do all the installation work
in a Cshell, and you have to run rrn in a Cshell if you want to execute
Pnews or Rnmail (because they have caps in their names, you see...).
