- Go to grind.isca.uiowa.edu and look in the unix/newsreaders area.
- In there you should find both the latest version of nn (6.4.18), and a file
- called "nn.localpatch" (or something to that effect). Grab both.
- The "localpatch" is something I wrote to allow nn to compile under HP-UX and
- to have it run much smoother under Domain/OS. Make sure you keep a copy of
- the patch around as you'll need to unpatch it when the next set of official
- patches shows up (it'll be included in them). If you have any problems with
- it let me know so I can get them fixed ASAP.
