  After total frustration with the proliferation of shell scripts at
all levels of the news process, I actually sat down and rewrote
anne.jones and defhdrs.awk in C. So far, it seems to be holding up ok.
  I've ported it from our Sun-4's under 4.1, to Ultrix under 3.1D. I'm
very interested in hearing from people who'd be willing to not only
give this thing a run-through on their system (and try their best to
make it die a horrible death), but also to let me know if it compliles
properly. (I have a feeling it's gonna die under SysV.)
  It's far from complete, but it beats the living hell out of the
script, speed-wise.
  Please respond via email.
