With pleasure. I printed out the docs 'Installing Internet News' and
followed the instructions in that, after changing the config.data
file to their suggestions for a BSDI system (section 4.3) - it all
worked except for one thing which was them saying EXITVAL and
_EXITVAL were volatile voids when they seem to compile ok with voids.
There are only two sections you really need and thats the 4.3 config
changes for a BSDI system and 6 compiling the system.
I only used the BUILD script as a last move to create the proper
active and history files.
Any problems gimmi a shout and ill try to tell you what i did -
although i am only a total novice at these things.
