Indeed.  The README file says that the src directory contains 1.5
source (which I gather is what Geoff is still running).  I upgraded our
server to 1.5.5 and took the opportunity to create context diffs for C news
while I had a vanilla 1.5.5 around, and Geoff agreed to include those
in the release.

A vanilla NNTP 1.5.5 (the very one I generated the diffs from) can be found
for FTP on neat.ai.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65).  The NNTP diffs for C news are
also there, and we will try to keep up with NNTP releases until the C news
stuff gets #ifdef-ed properly in the official release, should that ever
happen.  Remember to use binary mode.
