	I have been trying to get news compiled on Venix86 for a PC for the
	last year.  I have been beta testing various versions of Venix for 
	Unisource, and they *still* haven't got it right.  The latest (2.0) 
	supposedly has a form of medium model compiler, but that is not the 
	problem.  In all versions of news (2.10.1, 2.10.2), the compiler barfs 
	on "structure too large" in the structure in params.h.  It seems 
	Venturecom allocated a fixed 4k space in the compiler for structure 
	definitions, and don't seem to want to do anything about it.  (They 
	know about the problem).  The size or type of processor doesn't really 
	matter, as I am writting this on my Altos with the same type of 
	processor(8086) and a *small* model compiler which has compiled news 
	and rn with no problem.

If *only* I had known...
