If you are running NewsGrazer via remote nntp (meaning you dont store the news  
on your machine) then you can run trn in the same mode without *building* nntp.   
You *will* need the source for nntp on your machine when you build trn, because  
trn uses a few files from that source.  nntp source is available in several  
places on the net.
