trn4 for Debian
---------------
Starting from trn4 version 4.0-test74-6 and trn version 3.6-15, it is now
possible to install more than one trn package on a system and have them
cooperate in a manner almost transparent to the user.
The system is managed through "alternatives"; please see
update-alternatives(8) if you are unfamiliar with these. Unfortunately,
several separate alternatives need to be used, and so just
'update-alternatives --config trn' is not enough. You'll need to update each
of them separately if you want to change the default. This package installs
alternatives with the following names:
Pnews Rnmail nntplist rn trn trn-artchk
trn has a number of "public executables", which users expect to be on their
$PATH; aside from trn itself, Pnews and Rnmail are perhaps the best-known of
these. If you are a user on a system where some other trn is the default,
you can normally just type 'trn4' and everything will work. However, if you
have wrapper scripts that call these executables by name, you can either use
the full pathname (/usr/lib/trn4/Pnews, etc.) or add /usr/lib/trn4 to the
beginning of your $PATH environment variable.
Man pages can be accessed by their usual names in the case of the default
trn, and, for example, as trn4(1) and trn4-Pnews(1) otherwise.
