You may submit "rn" when the Microsoft large model C compiler works well
enough to compile it without spills, core dumps, or various forms of
cooky behavior.  On the AT, rn must be compiled with the small model,
and rn runs out of memory and abends once or twoce per session, even with
most of the newsgroups cut off upstream of here.
