As distributed, the B-news 2.10 "inews" and "readnews"
absolute modules are much too large to fit on a
DEC PDP-11/34 or other non-separated-I-and-D-space
16-bit-address machines under DEC's V7M2.1.
Has anyone stripped these programs down or
subdivided them so that they can fit?
Is support from a different version of the
operating system kernel such as BSD 2.9 needed?
Would some earlier version of news fit?
Will the maintainers of B-news make future versions
that will fit on smaller address-space machines?
