[news.software.b] cc -n advisable for inews/rnews on many systems

dave@lsuc.UUCP (04/27/87)

When rnews is unbatching, two copies may be running at the
same time (one unbatching, one processing).  As well, other
instances of inews may be running.  Running [ir]news shared-text
is thus a good idea on swapping systems where memory may be
short. To get this, use localize.sh to change the line linking
inews to add "-n". Something like
	/-o inews/s//-n &/
within the ed of Makefile will do it.

I suggested to Rick that this change be made in Makefile.dst, but
he tells me that on systems with virtual memory, cc -n is not
appropriate.
