[comp.unix.xenix] rn | readnews

mike@sgistl.SGI.COM (Michael Ashburn) (11/05/87)

I am trying to get usenet news to my IBM AT clone running SCO xenix 2.1.3.
I am in dire need of a 'doctored' source for either rn or readnews to
get things rolloing. I already have a feed. The source I currently have
is going to require modifications to make it run under SCO XENIX and I
prefer not to duplicate somebody elses work (read lazy here). 

Thanks - Mike

A 16-bit version of compress and a compressed TAR archive of an SCO-ized
version of news 2.11, patchlevel 8, can be uucp'ed from spdcc:

uucp spdcc!~uucp/compress compress
uucp spdcc!~uucp/sconews.tar.Z sconews.tar.Z

Here is spdcc's L.sys boilerplate:

spdcc Any ACU {2400,1200,300} 16176614927 ogin:-@-ogin:-@-ogin: uucp

Hi Mike,
 
Take it from my system. It is in the usenet directory.
