Thus spake umrose05@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Dave Rose):

> run? Also, what about nn6.14?

I built this (as an NNTP client) straight out the box, as far as I can
remember.  However, the machine that I did it on is at work, so I can't
check for hacks.  I also have elm2.4 and smail3.1 running under 386bsd.
These took a bit of hacking (terribly inelegant, but they work), mostly
to get the configuration scripts to run under BSD's "sh".  Oh, I also
have RC (the PD version of the plan-9-from-bell-labs shell) going -- 
this needed no changes at all.  If anyone wants binaries or patches,
let me know.  

I am prepared to mail off a few binaries, and/or post patches if there
is demand for them.  Alternatively, any FTP sites I should ship these
to?
