Read INSTALLATION for instructions on configuring/compiling/installing nn. Major differences from nn-6.5.6: NNTP AUTH works. nn can now talk to NNTP servers that require a username and password. Multiple nntp-server/nn-directory/newsrc files are now supported via command-line switches. It looks something like this: % nn nntp-server=news.bignews.net nn-directory=.nn.bn newsrc=.newsrc.bn You should probably alias or script this. nn now posts directly and no longer requires inews. In fact, if NNTP is defined, the aux script isn't called at all. Everything has been internalized. As a useful side-effect, nn finally deals with long References lines correctly. Note that programs called from nn (such as editors) need to be full pathnames. There is a new command- "E" that saves only the headers. .
