% I had this and all kinds of problems with cnews until I switched from
% sh to sh5. Try it, you'll like it. Not a lot, but you'll like it. :)

Thanks Timo!

C news has been running fine on Ultrix 3.1 (vax) since i changed 
#! /bin/sh
 to 
#! /bin/sh5
in all of the scripts.

I hope this posting saves other Ultrician's ;-) from some grief.
