I did the port about a month ago... It was fairly simple really but
I had previous experience with BNews under SCO Xenix... I don't
really recall what I had to do exactly for the port, but the
things that stick out most in my mind were not to use the '-O' flag
for inews, postnews, and vnews since my /tmp is only 2500 blocks
and it quickly over-ran this during it's optimization phase.  One
cure I found for this was to rename /tmp to /tmp.tmp and create
a link for /tmp -> /u/tmp (/u is my largest filesystem).  It's
kind of stupid but I'm at a loss for disk-space.  

Readnews would NOT compile and function correctly (core-dump) but
I couldn't care less so I haven't spent any time on it.

Vnews wouldn't work correctly either.  It won't recognize a users
.newsrc for some reason so it always comes back and says 'no news.'.
To get around this, I mv'd /usr/bin/vnews to /usr/bin/vnews.kludge
and then had a script in /usr/bin/vnews that basically does a
'/usr/bin/vnews.kludge -n all'.  Again, I don't like vnews all
that much so I didn't bother with this.

The news-reader I use most is 'nn' which I personally find to 
be very good. It compiled with NO problem's under AIX and works
very well, so again, who cares about readnews and vnews?

If you really have problems, then I can make up some stuff for
you and ship it off, but really, it only took a few hours work
to get it working properly.  Just make sure your permissions
are correct before you start and maybe start with a valid blank
active file.. Good luck.

And while we're on the topic, has anyone ELSE gotten CNEWS to
work? I just got the source the other day and haven't had a 
chance to tackle it... Should I watch for anything in particular
before I get started? (under AIX 2.2.1 preferably...)
