Here is a set of diffs to make rn work properly on A/UX
2.0.. (A/UX 1.1, too)...

      register char *s;
      bool oh_for_the_good_old_days = FALSE;
      
      if (maxngtodo)
  	starthere = 0;
      else if (!foundany) {		/* nothing to do? */

      if (maxngtodo)

      else if (!foundany) {		/* nothing to do? */

! 	        errno = EINTR;
! 	    else {

! 	}
  #ifdef PUSHBACK
  	if (*whatbuf & 0200 || no_macros) {
  	    *whatbuf &= 0177;

      for (;;) {

I think the problem here is a #define in config.h, check #define
INTERNET, mine is #undef INTERNET and it works properly,
even though we really are Internet..
