How to install XRN:

0. See the file CHANGES for a list of changes from the last release.

1. Does an NNTP server (version 1.5 or greater) exist on your network?
   - if not, get the NNTP server code and install it
     (via anonymous ftp from uunet.uu.net)
   - make sure that XHDR (in nntp/common/conf.h) was defined
     when your NNTP server was installed.
     (XRN will tell you if it has not been defined)

2. Look at `config.h' and make the necessary modifications
   (default settings, location of various files, domain name, etc.)
   [if you are running SunOS 3.5, check out USE_LOCALTIME]

   Make sure that you properly define the value of TRANSLATIONS_NOT_FREED

3. Make xrn
   
   a. Build the Makefile

      1. If you have X11 installed, build the Makefile:
   
	      xmkmf 

   b. If you don't have xmkmf, but the X libraries are installed in the
      `right places':

	  make -f Makefile.NoXtr

	  you may need to specify values for LDOPTIONS and INCLUDES
	  (see Makefile.NoXtr)

   c. Build xrn

	  make xrn

4. Installl xrn AND the application defaults

   make install

   (XRN WILL NOT RUN CORRECTLY WITHOUT IT'S APPLICATION DEFAULTS INSTALLED)

   Also install the man page:

   make install.man

5. Check out `Xresources.sample' for example resource settings

6. If you have problems, mail to 'xrn@ic.berkeley.edu'
