In regards to C news; I had almost no problem building it on
386bsd.
The only difficulties are:
1) the flock() function has been deprecated in 386bsd,
(C news provides a nice clone one in the Sys V specific
directory)
2) an un-patched ash (/bin/sh) will have problems because
it mis-parses a couple of things. This has reportedly
been corrected, and I believe is present in the 0.2.4
patchkit. I haven't had time to check that out, and
am currently using bash as /bin/sh on my News host.
