I happen to agree with you. SCO Unix is not a stable product. If you did
happen to upgrade, DO NOT USE THE MICROSOFT C COMPILER!!!. It generates
*wrong* code. Use rcc instead.

I can't get usenet stuff to even compile much less work. If any has gotten
usenet B News 2.11 to run *please* lend me a hand.

I got smail 2.5 to compile, but it send 2 copies to e-mail: one to the
proper domain name, and one to user@hostname.UUCP. I think this is some
kind of configuration error on my part. If anyone has gotten smail to work,
*please* help me.

I also couldn't get rn to work. Configure seems to run fine, but it barfs during
compile.

'Patch' seems to act very strange also.

Enough whining.
