 hpux uses checklist.h instead of fstab.h for the s300's. The getfsent(3X) is
also replaced by getmtent(3X). Many thanks to hakanson@cse.ogi.edu [Marion
Hakanson] for helping me find this. Also, I had BSD_43 defined in conf.h
(I'm still confused about hpux being more bsd or sysv, sometimes :-) which 
made the code in misc.c and nntpxmit.c go the wrong way during cpp.

I applied the patches and the code compiled fine.  Something to point out
here is that hpux has fd_set (in sys/types.h) so I had modified the original
timer.c to work with it (as well as using "struct timeval timeout" instead of
"long timeout"). Seems like wherever I saw a "#ifdef USG" in timer.c, I had
to replace it with "#if defined(USG) && !defined(hpux)" kinda deal :-). This
fix seemed to work too and is smaller (but will not work for other USG systems).

 My error...I had defined BSD_43 (in common/conf.h)...dumb, dumb, dumb.

ld gave a warning that bcopy was defined more than once. Hopefully, this can be
ignored. 

Thanks again for all who helped out!
