After a lot of hacking I finally got news 2.9 to fit into the limited memory space available on the 11/34. I can promise you that if rocks34 were still around it would still be running news 2.9, for I wasn't about to go through the pain of hacking another version to fit. /Don -- "To err is human - to blame someone else is even more human" arpa: Wegeng.Henr@Xerox.ARPA csnet: Wegeng.Henr@Xerox.ARPA ns: dw:Wbst207V:Xerox uucp: {amd,decvax!rochester,ihnp4,princeton}!rocksvax!dw
