An easy solution is to just take out the redefinition of system() 
towards the end of snews.c and remove exec.obj, spawnch.obj and 
checkpch.obj from the list of dependencies.

The only disadvantage is that it leaves you with around 150K less 
memory when shelling to Dos or invoking the editor.

(If you're building it with BC v4 or higher, use -v- and -P- to remove 
the debugging symbols and C++ compile - this halves the .exe size.  
tzset.obj also needs to be rebuilt - the later tlink doesn't seem to 
handle the INITDATA segment properly and the tz functions don't work)

Cheers, Graham.
