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?
