I have gotten  nn  working on SCO Xenix.  I am rapidly becoming a
convert.  It runs much faster than anything else due to its own
database, and presents a menu of articles to choose from.  Being a total
novice at  nn  I cannot comment on anything else, except to say that for
a while I was running rn and nn at the same time to compare (and to
prove to myself that everything was working properly).  I have just
stopped using rn, and don't think I will use it again except for special
cases.
