This is my first news posting ... please be gentle. I have just subscribed to UUNET and I am trying to install Version 2.11 B of netnews on my Compaq 386/20/4MB RAM running SCO XENIX 386 Version 2.3.1. The software seems to compile just fine, but when I try to run readnews or postnews I get the following error: readnews: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped Also, should I be installing C news? Can someone tell me how to get it from the well or via anonymous UUCP? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice in solving this problem, and getting the netnews software properly installed. Being new to Unix communications and Usenet, I have been learning a great deal (but not quite enough) from two fine books on the subjects: Managing uucp and Usenet O'Reilly & Associates Unix Communications by Bart Anderson, Bryan Costales, and Harry Henderson Howard W. Sams & Company Your patience is appreciated.
