Porting C news to the PC is not impossible.  I had an earlier version of
Cnews running on my pc for ages until I found that doing my own message
conversions was easier than running Cnews and then reading those messages
for gatewaying to another system.  But IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.  I was using
Microsoft C 5.1 and a whole pile of porting libraries I have created over
the last 5 years.
