There was mention of it on the net in this news group a while back. It is said to compile and work beautifully under SCO 2.2. PROBLEM: I only have SCO 2.1.3 and the compile blows up with warnings and an out of heap space error. When adding the -LARGE option to the cc flag which does away with the heap space problem but then I get the old error 11 'SEGMENTATION VIOLATION'. QUESTION: Has anybody been able to get sconews or any other news program to compile successfully under SCO 2.1.3? If so how? I am currently running rn but it lacks a few things which I consider a nessecity such as a means to clear out articles older than a cerain number of days (ala expire), a means of sending and receiving articles in batch mode and the good old uuencode and uudecode programs. I understand the latter is in the public domain so that is not so important. Any help would really be appreciated.
