I've just FTP'ed what I have been told is an unusually powerful news reading package called nn, and have been trying to compile and install it on my Microport V/AT 2.4 system. Scanning the PROBLEMS file included with the package was this advice: > KNOWN PROBLEMS > RUNNING NN ON 80286 > ------------------- > > The system and machine file for a '286 running Microport UNIX V/AT are > s-uport2-2.h and m-i80286.h, but to get it running you probably have > to do the following things as well: > > - tgetstr.o in libcurses is broken in 2.4. > Get an old version (e.g. 1.3) and replaced tgetstr.o. > > - Use the m286 malloc posted recently to comp.sources.misc Can someone help me with this? I don't have an earlier version of libcurses, I have only owned my copy of Sys V/AT for a few months. I have looked for the m286 malloc on local sites, but have been unable to find it. Also if anyone has had experience building/using nn on Sys V/AT 2.4 please pass on any hints or tips you may have. Thanks! -MWP (fred@cetus)
