- B news 2.1? is available from SCO as a two-disk SLS set that installs under
- custom. It's downloadable free of charge from their anonymous uucp system,
- "sosco", or from many other places (uunet.uu.net, among others).
-
- The last time I compiled rn on a 386 XENIX box (2.3.2) I got all the patches
- from uunet and all I had to do was to use fixhdr to change the stack space
- for /bin/sh so that Configure would work; other than that it compiled with
- no changes at all. The more recent rn patches include modifications for
- XENIX compatibility.
-
- I know of several XENIX systems that got Cnews running; the people who did
- it did not seem to have much trouble, other than the usual ones.
