We are attempting to install Cnews on a Decsystem 5000 running
Ultrix 4.1, and have run into difficulties. When we attempted to run
doit.bin, the scipt aborted with the following errors:

A quick workaround is just to reconfigure not to use our stdio speedups. They have a tendency to be tricky, since they have to fit the local stdio implementation precisely. Actually, these are "unimportant" errors, probably easily sorted out, but if you're not up to wading through the details, you probably don't want to try. -- "Read the OSI protocol specifications? | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology I can't even *lift* them!" | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
