[news.software.b] Will dbz work with B news?

tom@wave4.webo.dg.com (Tom Jordahl) (07/26/89)

Just a simple question I think has been answered, but I lost it in the 
flurry of posting on C news:

Can I compile the module dbz.c into an object libdbz.a and re-link
my B news software using -ldbz?

Will this work with *no* other modifications to the B news sources?

Is it worth it?  (I think this is a big *yes*)

I plan to run C news "real soon now", but you know how these things go.
Thanks.

Dbz was written to work with B news.  Just make sure you have a 
version with tolower() still in it.  If not, you can get the latest 
version from me that has a #ifdef BNEWS.
