  In SVR4 we have a getdate(3C) function which obviously comes into 
conflict with Cnews getdate. My quick and dirty soulution was to rename
Cnews "getdate" to "getdat", this involved changes in just 4 source files
in Cnews, less than 10 individual places in the code.

 My little hack cant be very imagiantive since I know almost nothing about C
There must be several more people around who have ported Cnews to SVR4.
How did you get around this problem ?

Lars.
