slrn 0.9.6.2+
=============


Description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
  This is a Amiga-compile of slrn 0.9.6.2 with applied patches from Felix
Schueller (fschueller@netcologne.de) and Thomas Schulz (tststs@gmx.de).
(as found on http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-schuelfe/slrn/patches/).
Have a look into doc/slrn.rc for changes to the original version. This
is a really great and powerful program but some knowledge of the Amiga and
GeekGadgets are necessary to have really fun. I used to use THOR but slrn
is imo much better. Give it a chance!

This archive doesn't include slang and the source anymore. If you really
want the source of slrn of this version, you can download it from my homepage
(http://me.in-berlin.de/~hys).


Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  If you have installed GeekGadgets then just copy slrnpull, uudecode and slrn
where ever you want. I would suggest BIN: however.

  If not, make an directory and put usr/ into it. You'll have to make an assign 
(usr:) to it. You should create an own directory because there will be a handful
of files and subdirectories needed. You will also need a directory with a BIN: 
assign containing sh (included).

For both: A variable called HOME has to be set to the directory where .slrnrc
is situated. You have to set real paths and no assigns (eg. set home "GG:" won't 
work, you'll have to set home "Developer:GG")!

You should also set the enviroment var NNTPSERVER
(eg. SetEnv NNTPSERVER news.vr.in-berlin.de, copy ENV:NNTPSERVER ENVARC:).

Now refer to the original documentation. After having read the docs in the
doc-directory you should also have a look at changes.txt.

slrn, slrnpull and uudecode has been compiled using egcs-2.91.66 using the
following options: 

CFLAGS = -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -m68020 -mstackextend
LDFLAGS = -s -mstackextend

(PS: I don't use a more actual version of gcc as it is deadly slow and doesn't
produce better code at all (I even heard that it produces worse code as it
is optimized for faster CPUs).)

Changes:
~~~~~~~~
changed #define SLRN_GEN_FROM_EMAIL_HEADER 0 to
        #define SLRN_GEN_FROM_EMAIL_HEADER 1 in src/slrnfeat.h


Credits:

for supporting me creating this package.
