I am definitely not "winging it".  I think I am running into problems with
Xenix, and possibly the configuration.

I've been fooling with this seriously for a week now, and really have not
seen much light.  I am using the suggestions for batchparms, sys, and 
the patch to batchsplit.

I can get a ihave message from B News to C News.  C News processes it and
dumps it in news/out.going/lccinc.sendme/togo.  Here's where the problems
appear to begin.  Sendbatches runs, but always fails returning a
"./sendbatches batching togo.1 for `lccinc.sendme' failed" error.
Then I get a error stating that the process is not attached to the terminal
and get a list of options for who.  When I tried passing in a LOGNAME,
it appears to work, but still fails from sendbatches.

Anyone have any comments?
