- I've had no problems compiling any of the newsreaders out there,
- including rn, trn, nn, and tin. They all work pretty much without a
- problem, although you need to know some of the tricks of where NeXT
- hides things to answer the configuration questions properly. (eg the
- NeXT C library is in /usr/lib/libsys_s.a, not /usr/lib/libc.a; sigh.)
- Archie can point you to sources.

- Again, use archie to find out where to get sources, and you should be
- able to compile them without much problem. I haven't compiled UMORIA,
- but I do have nethack up and running.
