I found that I needed to apply the fix to source code when building GoodNeWS1.2
for a SUN3/60 under OS4.0.

In an unrelated area, dvinews failed trying to display the goodnews.dvi file
distributed with the system.  After building a number of fonts, it dies
because it can't find the Cmr10.ff font file.  Can anyone explain this?
