For those familiar with installing c-news!  I need some help/advice on  
installing c-news on my NeXTStation Turbo system.  I tried to execute the  
scripts (with the guidance of the Canada NUG .ps file) under both 2.2 and 3.0.   
Both reported the same problem in the second script file executed (not exact  
output):

putenv.c number of parameters did not match prototype.
Exit 1 *******
+ Stop

This .c file is included into the program at runtime because according to my  
installation guide, the NeXT does not have a putenv() function.  Any  
suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the diff of the changes I made to putenv.c to compile a working C-News  
under 3.0:

diff -r /tmp/O_c-news/libfake/putenv.c /LocalLibrary/C-News/libfake/putenv.c
19c19
< char *var;
---
> const char *var;

While I'm at it, I might as well mention the rest of the changes I had to make  
(expire.c was the only other file which I had to modify):

diff -r /tmp/O_c-news/expire/expire.c /LocalLibrary/C-News/expire/expire.c
121c121
< extern double atof();
