I'm trying to help someone compile programs such as elm, bnews, rn, etc.
in order to get him on the net.  He has an RS/6000 and he's not familiar
with C and I'm not familiar with AIX.  Is there some kind of mode that I
can use with cc in order to compile this stuff easier (I'm thinking in
terms of non-ansi compliant mode)?  Can anyone give me some tips on
compiling the above software.  I tried elm and got the following error
message right away:

	cd src; /bin/make - all
	cc  -O -I../hdrs    -c addr_util.c
       45 |      *strchr(), *strcpy(), *strcat(), *strncpy();
    1506-041: (S) Parameter list cannot contain fewer parameters than required by macro  definition.

1254-004  The error code from the last failed command is 1.
Make Quitting.

I would appreciate any help with this.  Also, I didn't find a localize
script for aix in the bnews package.  What should I use instead or
does anyone out there have one?  Thanx again.
