C News installed with little pain.  It did take some time to discover that
directories had to be manually created in /usr/spool/news/out.going for
each machine in the sys file.  

The patched NNTP sources in nntpdiffs/src appear to be missing patch #3
in misc.c.  I worked around that by fetching virgin nntp 1.5 from ucbvax,
applying patches 1 to 5 from watson.bcm.tmc.com, and then applying the
Cnews NNTP patches.

Btw, the DNS has only MX records for tmc.com (I've since misplaced their
IP address).
