Rn bug patch #16 (REPOSTED)

System: rn version 4.1
Bug #: 16
Priority: MEDIUM
Subject: & substitution in fullname incorrect
Index: Pnews.SH, intrp.c
From: mcvax!guido (Guido van Rossum)

Description:
	Neither Pnews nor rn does the & substitution (inserting login name
	into full name) correctly.  This should be of concern only to
	bsd sites.

Repeat-By:
	Have a passwd GCOS entry that uses & substitution.  Get into rn and
	type /<esc>N.  You should end up with your correct name.  If not,
	you have the intrp.c bug.  Run Pnews.  If it produces a header with
	an incorrect full name, you have the Pnews bug.

Fix:	From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
	Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle".  If you don't have
	the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.

	The intrp.c patch must be applied only to a revision 4.1.1.3
	intrp.c (with patches 1 and 7).
	
	The Pnews.SH patch should be applied to a stock revision 4.1
	Pnews.SH.  Then rerun Pnews.SH and install the new Pnews.

Prereq: 4.1.1.3
