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.
