Has anybody >a fix for this? Or has anybody successfully built C-News using "ndbm"? I have it running; it looks like I built patchlevel E (latest at the time :) back in Jan 1995. I can probably recover the configuration from tape if you become desparate. From memory it was a fairly reasonable Cnews build -- the performance release at least uses Makefiles, which was a change for the better. I'm most likely using the dbz stuff, since my level of trust in the ndbm emulation is low. That wasn't very helpful, was it?
