If anyone has "fixed" the inews script I would appreciate >some help. I suggest you replace the Bourne Shell that comes with 386BSD 0.1 with GNU's Bash. No, I don't know if it will easily compile under 386BSD 0.1. However I have a friend that bought BSDI and the shell that came with it had the same problems that you are describing. I told him to replace his shell with Bash and after he did he had no problems with the CNews shell scripts. fred -- Disclaimer: everything I write is my *personal* opinion and does not represent or reflect the opinion of the company which employs me.
