I've been on the net for over a year, and I've seen dozens of postings
of patches for rn, but never rn itself. If it's really been over a year
since rn was posted in its entirety, and if the current group of patches
is as large as it appears to be, then perhaps it's time to post the whole
of rn, including all the patches. I'd love to try rn out but I don't
have it!

PLEASE don't repost Rn to net.sources. Rn was posted to mod.sources, and as such, is available as part of the mod.sources archive. If Larry Wall (the author) feels that enough changes have been made to warrant a new release, then fine; but DONT REPOST the old version! The method for retrieving programs from the mod.sources archives is described in the mod.sources Index, which was posted to both net.sources and mod.sources just a few days ago. John P.

I had forgotten about the mod.sources archives. In any case, a kind soul offered me a uucp link to fetch the sources with, and even as I type I have rn compiling on my system. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.
