My thanks to everyone who helped out on my original query for 
BNews & CNews under SCO Unix.  As promised, here are the replies 
I received for both, with some notes added where needed:

On BNews:

Thanks to Michael and Dean.  I ftp'ed the SLS for BNews from uunet.uu.net
[192.48.96.2].  Under the sco-archive directory is a tree that holds most
(if not, all of...) the SLS packages.  unx194.v1.Z and unx194.v2.Z are the
compressed tar files of the BNews binaries (sans source...), and unx194.ltr 
is a tar of the BNews Documentation.

With regards to CNews:

The notes here on CNews will be helpful, since I also pulled down the 
source for CNews from uunet as well.  

Once again, my sincerest thanks to Robert, Michael, and Dean for 
their help.
