I'm experimenting with setting up UUCP and Usenet

old source code for Usenet (B News and C News), it's virtually
impossible to find source code for old news *readers*.
I'm looking especially for nn, which was my go-to at the time. The
oldest version I've found so far is nn 6.4, which is too big to
compile on a 3B2/400. If I could get my hands on 6.1 or earlier, I
think I'd have a good chance.
rn was available for 4.3BSD
I don't find this code on TUHS, but I got mine from disk 2 of the
CSRG Archives. (You can find some old versions of it searching for
"/new/rn/ng.h".)
