I have the same setup (except its a 386i-250), and the most likely cause of
your problems is the version of NeWS that the programs were written for.
A lot of public domain NeWS stuff is still for NeWS1.0/1.1 which was a
separate product before the dawn of OpenWindows.  However ONW2.0 runs
NeWS 2.1, which is again different in respect of several of its 'library'
functions, even over its immediate predicessor in OWN1.0 (which was NeWS2.0).

Without more info though its hard to say exactly what's wrong.
