minor bug in readnews
In my installation of Version B on u1100s (a UNIVAC 1100/62 system
running the UNIX (1100) operating system) a bug in "readnews"
appeared when trying to cancel an article.  The symptom was a message
that readnews "could not execute /usr/lbin/inews".  The problem turned
out to be a missing terminator in the call to execl within the "cancel"
subroutine in the file readr.c (section 2 of UNIX ref man says execl
requires a 0 to terminate arg list; this was missing in the version
distributed to me).  Apparently UNIX systems on PDP equipment are
tolerant of this minor error.
