The stock rn will compile just fine under System V/AT.  Make sure you
specify large model when Configure asks for compiler and linker flags
(-Ml).  Configure can't find your compiler libraries by itself, so you
need to tell it where to find libc.a: it's in /lib/large/libc.a. 
Finally, after you've configured the package, but before you compile it,
edit common.h and change the #define SPEEDOVERMEM to #undef
SPEEDOVERMEM.  This will prevent core dumps when a newsgroup gets an
article number higher than 16384. 

Good luck...If you run into problems, drop me a note, and I'll try to
help.
