The only change I made to use rn (patchlevel 44), was to 
install the ndir libraries.. 

I have had continuous problems using AT&T dirent with rn, 
with re-occurring bugs cropping up in ngdata.c routines.
(i.e. marking the newsgroup read when it hits a missing
article,etc)

By installing Doug's library,I didn't have to modify 
ndir.c,ngdata.c or any other part of rn. In my opinion,
this is the optimum solution.

This does get discussed often.I wish Larry's Configure 
scripts would address it though.
