Hi. I wrote the code to make news 2.11 run on Eunice. If people
are having problems with it I'd like to hear about them.
But before writing to me:
1) Make sure you have Eunice version 4.2 (the bsd version)
2) Make sure you have installed all three patches.
3) Before building, check inews.c. If the line
UNLINK(ACTIVE, bfr)
appears in it, change this line to
UNLINK(bfr)
(I said "if" because I think there's a corrected version of patch #3
floating around that doesn't introduce this bug).
4) Make sure to type "vmsobj" before building! (Very important).
5) Start by copying "localize.vms" to localize.sh. Make your local
changes in your copy of localize.sh (see the installation manual).
By the way, read the whole installation manual; most of the things
you have to know are the same things people on real Unices need to
know (I considered saying RTFM but decided to be polite).
6) Whenever you modify "active", make sure the file ends up in Unix
format, or chaos will result.
Finally, if you write to me, send your localize.sh.
