Eh? Last time I looked, slrn was an on-line nr and slrnpull was the
portition that could make it work off-line, however, slrnpull isn't the
best way of doing it, the best way is to use leafnode or somesuch...

Also, he wanted a soup package because he had a large archive, slrn
doesn't cope with soup.
