Here are diffs to Vn to make it run under Minix. The base version of Vn used was the 1/88 version + 4/88 modifications (both posted in comp.sources.unix). This version should run on a bog-standard Minix 1.3c or 1.4a. Mine isn't quite bog standard, so your mileage may vary :-) You may be wondering why have Vn for Minix? After all, it doesn't even have News yet. This project is top-down. I'm now working on porting News - it partially works already, but needs more changes yet. With the recent postings of binmail and UUPC, I thought a Vn posting was appropriate. The diffs are posted in 3 parts; this is part 0, you need the other two parts, unshar them, and run the resulting files through patch. If there is demand from the net, I will post full sources (approx 170k). Changes involved fixing #includes, shortening some long function names, working around a couple of compiler and/or preprocessor bugs, customising user options for Minix, massaging incompatible regexp to make a square peg fit in a round hole, nicening the display, fixing a REAL BUG in Vn, and other miscellaneous things where Minix is braindead (e.g. 3 argument open). Shar and enjoy ...
