This posting annouces the availability of patches that integrate rn and NNTP
modified rn (so-called rrn) into one source. It also provides for many 
outstanding fixes to rn. These patches are manditory for sites using rn in
any form that wants to track the official patches.

The patches have been tested against the sources available from uunet
(news/rn.tar.Z) and gatekeeper.dec.com (public/lwall/rn-4.3.41.tar.Z) and 
work successfully if and only if you are running patch 2.0 with all patches
up through patch 12 installed.

These patches are available via anonymous ftp from bcm.tmc.edu in the public
directory. They are also available via the archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu. Send
that address a messages containing the line "send public rn.41.patch" to get
the first patch. In that message, you will see the instructions for getting
the other two. 

The entire kit with patches installed is also available via anonymous ftp
from lib.tmc.edu in public/rn. It is not available via the archive-server
at this time.

Please send all comments to "rrn@lib.tmc.edu"...
