- Compiling SNews ver. 1.91
- -------------------------
- SNews was designed on a DOS machine, but support has been added for OS/2 which
- has not been thoroughly tested. It has been compiled with Borland's Turbo C
- compiler ver. 2.0 and Borland's C++ compiler ver. 3.1 under DOS, and with
- Borland's C++ compiler ver. 1.0 under OS/2.
-
- To compile, first customize the makefile and type "make". Note that Borland's
- make ver. 2.0 will not work because of the conditional statements.
-
- The file "todo" contains my wish list of features to add and bugs to fix.
- These may or may not be added to future versions of SNews. (The chance that
- they will be added increases greatly if you make them yourself and send
- me a copy!)
-
- I have included in the package the small batch file "dirnews" which displays a
- (rather badly-formatted) NEWSBASE directory with the group name as well as
- numeric file name. It must be run from the NEWSBASE directory, and requires
- the sed (Stream EDitor) Unix-like program to function. Although the output is
- hard to read (I have more important things to fix!), it does come in handy
- sometimes while debugging.
