C news already runs on 16-bit machines: utzoo and utcsstat are PDP-11s. C rnews weakly prefers machines large enough to cache the active and sys files in memory, but it will merely run a bit more slowly on very small machines. Current sys and active files (with the possible exception of ucbvax's sys file :-) are small enough that they fit in memory on PDP-11s. -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!utstat!geoff, utstat.toronto.{edu,cdn}!geoff
