Thanks to John Lampert @ N3DMC I solved the problem with News not compiling cleanly on Microport after upgrading to patch #14. The problem (fix) lies in another definition in "defs.h". There is a "define MKDIRSUB" that was commented out of previous versions and with patch#14 needs to be un-commented out. This compiles cleanly now. I still havn't actually upgraded my working copies of News as I am still un-sure what the correct procedure is for upgrading a News installation that is currently running on a lesser patch level. If nothing else, Ill backup the whole system and try it "my way" :-) Thanks for those submitting ideas.
