This is the README for slrn0.9.0.0.s.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

This is slrn 0.9.0.0, compiled quad-FAT for NEXTSTEP 3.x.

slrn is an NNTP based news reader.


slrn was compiled using slang-0.99-34. I enabled the GroupLens feature
and the S-Lang interpreter in src/features (SLRN_HAS_GROUPLENS and 
SLRN_HAS_SLANG), furthermore I set NNTPSERVERFILE to
/usr/local/lib/news/nntp_server, so that slrn will try to read its
configuration from there.


INSTALLATION:

Move slrn into your preferred binary directory, e.g. /usr/local/bin or
~/Unix/bin and move slrn.1 into a directory in the man path, e.g.
/usr/local/man/man1 or ~/Unix/man/man1.

You may want to copy slrn.rc to your homedirectory, renamed to .slrnrc,
and change a few options there.

To configure the NNTP server, set an environment variable NNTPSERVER or
create a file /usr/local/lib/news/nntp_server with its name.

For more information on installation and configuration, consult the
included documentation.


COMPILATION:

slrn's primary site is ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn. Compilation
for NEXTSTEP is straightforward; just make sure that you have installed
the slang libary (ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang) and enable the
line "MISCLIBS = -ltermcap" in src/Makefile.
