I've been up and running since January under Cnews and SCO Unix.  There's a
trick to it, though; you probably don't want to compile Cnews with
Microsoft C (cc).  Try using AT&T's compiler (rcc) and you'll have much
better luck.  You'll have better luck still using a version of gcc 1.39
that's been patched for #pragma pack.
