Hi,
	
	I was wondering if anyone could give me some help with cnews.  I
and currently trying to get it up and running on a 486 machine running
SCO ODT 3.0 as a server and run a mounted spooler via NFS.

	I am having problems with too little space when I try to post
an article doing inews.

	When doing a df command I receive the following:

/         (/dev/root        ):   386524 blocks    48367 i-nodes
/u        (/dev/u           ):   410892 blocks    47743 i-nodes
/usr/spool/news (swii:/usr/spool/news ):   261438 blocks        0 i-nodes

	when I do a df /usr/spool/news I receive the following:

/usr/spool/news (swii:/usr/spool/news ):   261438 blocks        0 i-nodes

	The Inodes are there on the swii machine.  So the 0 inodes is 
misleading.

	I've tried to run the program with spacefor.sysv, spacefor.v7 
to no avail.  I've added some echo statements to the spacefor file
to see where the problem is.  I was unable to get the nf and nr outputs.
I don't understand what is trying to be done here.
	I've also sent along spacefor to show where the echo statements
are placed.
	I hope you will be able to help me with this.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated!

	Also could you please send any response via mail as I do not have
any news running at this time... I'm trying to get cnews up.

this is the t2 output from running a post news:

head off special case = 1
case #2=articles  dfunit=512

 df argument= /usr/spool/news NR= nr= NF= nf=

spacefor... below

# stuff of type $2 ("incoming", "articles", "control", "outbound $3",
