In January I installed Cnews on our U6000/55 running on OS 3.00 release 11.14.  
The only C error encountered was in libc/closeall.c.  It was looking for 
a max open files parameter that wasn't available in our libraries so I hard
coded it to 20.  That exhausted my expertise in C.  So far, so good. 

I also changed the shell programs "spacefor" and "anne.jones".  In "spacefor"
the df command output did not match what the awk script expected and in
"anne.jones" the format of the date output needed tweaking.  I believe there 
were no other changes necessary to get Cnews running.

I will attempt to send you these sources (they're short) by mail.  I will also
send my "build.def" to establish a common reference point.

Cnews (and the primitive readnews that came with it) have been working well
since we started our news feeds from UUNET.  I hope this helps with your 
Cnews install.
