[net.unix-wizards] Usenet on Xenix

brezak@wang7.UUCP (08/29/86)

Has any one successfully gotten Usenet to compile and run on an
IBM-PC/AT running xenix. I have already got it running uucp but have
had no luck getting the localize.sh right for Xenix.

I have the system running on our IBM AT running SCO Xenix.  The system
compiles as SYSV with SMALL_ADDRESS_SPACE.  There is a bug in fseek()
which requires a work-around in inews.c (symptom is that the active
file is not updated).  I have modified 'compress' to produce 16-bit
compression with a small model compile.  (And without the horrible
multiple array kludge for M_XENIX that came with it.)
