I installed trn 3.0 many moons ago.  I wanted to install the
latest and greatest trn 3.(whatever).  I looked in my tar README
file for internet location for source, to no avail.  I looked
in INSTALL, HACKERSGUIDE, NEW (and any other uppercase filenames)
to no avail. I looked at news.software.readers for a FAQ? My server
did not have one.  I looked at news.answers and none there.  I
looked at the README again and it said the software came from
David from borland.com.  I then try a wild guess ftp ftp.borland.com.
If it is in there I could not find it.  I have exhausted all my
options and brain cells.  David:

1. Can you tell me where the latest and greatest TRN is?
2. Can you update the README file in the tar
3. Can you put the FAQ more often.

Thanks,

First off, the author is Wayne Davison.  

| 1. Can you tell me where the latest and greatest TRN is?

The official trn location is ftp.uu.net: /networking/news/readers/*
Most other newsreaders are there as well.

Here are some other possible locations (possibly uunet mirrors) from archie.  I
haven't got a single archie response for trn containing ftp.uu.net.

ftp.denet.dk 		/mirror2/unix/news/readers/trn/trn.tar.gz
mcsun.eu.net 		/news/readers/trn/trn.tar.gz
unix.hensa.ac.uk 	/pub/uunet/networking/news/readers/trn/trn.tar.gz
ftp.germany.eu.net 	/pub/news/trn/trn.tar.gz
nctuccca.edu.tw 	/packages/news/trn/trn.tar.gz
grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr 	/pub/nfs-mounted/ftp.univ-lyon1.fr/mirrors/unix/trn/trn.tar.gz
nic.switch.ch 		/software/sources/news/trn/trn.tar.gz

trn.tar.gz should ideally be linked to trn3.4.1.tar.gz right now.

| 2. Can you update the README file in the tar

What needs to be updated?  

| 3. Can you put the FAQ more often.

There is no FAQ for trn!
