[news.software.b] Cnews on SCO XENIX 286

vester@canisius.UUCP (Karl Vesterling) (10/24/90)

	Cnews has a couple compiling problems on SCO XENIX 286 2.2.3

	One is that in the "./rna" directory there are some programs,
namely readnews.c headers.c history.c to name a couple that do this sort
of thing:

	if (!iflag)

		etc...

	Right there at that if statement I get an error from the compiler:

[filename.c]([linenumber]) : warning 54 `!' : illegal with enums
[filename.c]([linenumber]) : error 116 : `!' : bad right operand

	Now you take out that `!' and it compiles fine, but invoke it, and
everything appears to go fine for a couple of seconds, but then it falls
on it's face like a child learning to walk on a skating rink.

	I've been trying to figure out some way around this since it's
obviously a bug in the compiler, seeing as it works when you compile it
on other machines.  So could someone please help me out??

	By the way, can I get a better postnews from somewhere without
ftp capabilities??
