I also found that the fast stdio C news includes was incompatible with
386/ix stdio. My memory of just what was incompatible is a little
foggy now, but your note looks real familiar.

I was never worried about it though as I find the 386/ix stdio library
to be pretty fast as it is. According to this morning's log file, we
processed (typically) 4-8 articles per second yesterday and last
night.  Occassionally, this dipped to 2 or 3 per second. (C News is
running on a 20Mhz 386, ESDI drive).
