Here's one of the readme files included with NNR:

NNR (S_1.3.4) and (R_1.3.4) update announcement.

Network News Reader/VM (NNR) is a client implementation of Network
News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) a.k.a RFC 977.  NNR gives VM users
interactive access to a wide variety of bulletin boards, digests and
interest groups.

SPECIAL THANKS:
    Arty Ecock @ City University New York
    Ken Hornstein @ Pennsylvania State University

SPECIAL NOTE:
    as of NNR S_1.3.2 the principal version of RXSOCKET will be V2.  i
    have hooks into NNR to support REXTCPIP which could easily be
    modified if there were a need to adapt RXSOCKET V1.  please let me
    know if you have a situation where migration to RXSOCKET V2 is
    impossible and i'll generate the necessary updates.

    as of NNR *_1.3.3 INN servers will be recognized. if the INN
    server is INN 1.4 or later XOVER will be used.

    as of NNR *_1.3.4 i will be operating from our washington site
    and the nnrprod@mbvm.mitre.org address has been decomishioned.
    please use campbell@mitre.org for all correspondence.

    see nnr_133.readme at anonymous sites for details.

   source.vers130 - nnr sequenced source and support files
   updates.vers134  - individual updates
   nnrrxtcp.noas134 - nnr (without rextcpip)
   nnrrxsoc.noas134 - nnr (without rxsocket) (requires fal version 2)
   nnrdocs.vers134 - nnr users guide (script and postscript)


the above mentioned files are in a punch format and the following
procedure will unpack them.

       SPOOL PUN *
       PUNCH Filename Filetype <fm> ( NOH
       ORDER RDR <spid>
       READCARD * * <fm>

notice that the pre-packaged files no longer contain any of the
assembler code (RXSOCKET or REXTCPIP).

if you need RXSOCKET:
   if on BITNET:
     TELL LISTSERV at CUNYVM get rxsocket package
   if on Internet (mail only):
     send mail to
       "listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu"
     the body of the message should contain 1 line
       "get rxsocket vmarc ( f=uue"
     (you will need the uuencode and vmarc to unpack the mail file)

if you need REXTCPIP:
     i no longer know where this package may be obtained. drop me a
     line if you think you need it.

use the command "gnnrx" to generate the rxsocket version and
"gnnrt" for the rextcpip version from source.vers130 and
updates.vers134.

In NNR exec:
   set variable ipaddr : ip address
                mailer : mail machine
          organization : your organization
              thisnode : yournode.yourdomain

   make appropriate update for link to production tcpmaint 592
   make appropriate update for printing

See "NNR SAMPLEFX" - update, make changes to this file for your site
and file it as "NNR SITEFIX".
