I have recently come across a version of news put out by SCO as an
unsupported product. 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.
Thanks - Mike
