I'm trying to build C News on a Sequent Symmetery S81, running DYNIX 3.0.17
(basically a BSD4.2 system).

I ran through the conf/build script and answered all the questions to the
best of my knowledge and belief.
To the question "Does your system have an ANSI-C-conforming <string.h>?"
I answered "no" - because my system only appears to have <strings.h>, in
/usr/include.

Build happily continued to conclusion, but when I came to run doit.bin (with
-i to prevent immediate installation) it stopped when it failed to find a
<string.h> include file.

Can I get around this by changing all
	#include <string.h>
to
	#include <strings.h>
?

Is <string.h> simply a typo, and should it actually be <strings.h> ?

Anything else I can do? I've RTFM pretty thoroughly - hope I've not missed
anything.
