I have modified the bnews patch level 14 code to use the dynamic memory
allocator (malloc, realloc and free) extensively to reduce the memory
requirements of the bnews source. Most of the code runs now on my non-split
I/D machine. inews, readnews, expire and vnews had to get help with a
split i/d emulator (64K I 48K D) using the overlay loader. vnews is NOT
bug free and crashes periodically with memory violations.

I am making the modifications available because it now runs bug free
(except for vnews) on my 11/23 running UNIMAX and a neighbors 11/23
running UNIX Version 7 (Circa 1979). This code should be usefull to
anyone running a non split I/D machine or with limited memory space.
It, I'spose, is also a usefull starting point to get bnews running on
some micro-processors.

Send me mail to make arrangements to transfer the source.
