:I just saw that one last night. The prior time I compiled Cnews was
:with SCO's 3.2v4.0 Development System. Now I have 3.2v4.2, and you're
:right, NOFILE appears in none of the header files.

It's funny how this stuff comes around.  I ran across this NOFILE
definition in several things I compiled yesterday (gnu-make, and
flexfax in particular).  As JP pointed out, there are references
to NOFILES in sys/param.h, but no definition of NOFILE.  NOFILE
is referenced in <sys/socket.h> and <tam/tam.h> in comments, but
it's not defined anywhere in the /usr/include headers.

My fix was to modify sys/param.h with the enclosed patch.  I put
the modified file in /usr/local/include/sys/param.h and use
-I/usr/local/include in CFLAGS to make the compiler look there
before it searches /usr/include (this isn't really necessary
with gcc, but it doesn't hurt either).  Putting it in a separate
directory protects it when I install a DevSys update.

Patch for sys/param.h

This patch will define NOFILES and NOFILE if someone else hasn't
done it first.
