Two options.

	1) Get the standard distribution of rnews, say, 2.11.
		- unpack it and unpack the news.tar image
		- cd into the resulting 'doc' directory
		- modify the Makefile as needed
		- generate each document as needed


	2) Get a manual from someone who's bothered to attempt to
		externalize their experience(s). Reilly & Associates
		seem to have done a nice job with their set on UUCP
		and Netnews, Volume 1 on Using, Volume 2 on Abusing,
		ah, I mean Administrating. They are slightly expensive,
		you'd be best off ordering them directly.

No, I have no relationship whatsoever with this group of people at all
except as a satisfied reader.
