I have recently come across a version of news put out by SCO as an unsupported product. There was mention of it on the net in this news group a while back. It is said to compile and work beautifully under SCO 2.2. PROBLEM: I only have SCO 2.1.3 and the compile blows up with warnings and an out of heap space error. When adding the -LARGE option to the cc flag which does away with the heap space problem but then I get the old error 11 'SEGMENTATION VIOLATION'. QUESTION: Has anybody been able to get sconews or any other news program to compile successfully under SCO 2.1.3? If so how? I am currently running rn but it lacks a few things which I consider a nessecity such as a means to clear out articles older than a cerain number of days (ala expire), a means of sending and receiving articles in batch mode and the good old uuencode and uudecode programs. I understand the latter is in the public domain so that is not so important. Any help would really be appreciated.

Has anybody been able to get the SCO (unsupported) news to compile on a system running 2.1.3? It is supposed to be a very good version and supposedly compiles up error free on 2.2. I have been trying several different compile switches such as the -LARGE and -SEG to get rid of the 'out of heap space' and the 'segmentation violation' errors that are all to common on 2.1.3 with no luck. If anyone has any ideas please reply using the address below. I will post any successful solutions to this group should I get any. Thanks - Mike Michael J.
