Trying to compile the file relay/hdrdefs.c on Microport System V/AT
produces complaints from the compiler, about too complex expressions.
For those who want to run C news on their Microport system (and I reccommend
it - its much less load and faster), the following is a really dirty
fix to the problem.
The problem is the offset() macro, which calculates the offset of a structure
member *at compile time*, and uses it to initialise another structure
member.
If you know how structures are stored on your machine, you can simply
calculate the offsets yourself, and write them directly into the code
(ugh ! - but no more ugh than letting the compiler do this dirty trick
for you in the first place !).
For Microport 286 systems, compiling in small model (ie NO -Ml flag),
the following patch will allow you to compile C news.
(You will need to hack 'spacefor' a little too)
