One question, why are you trying to compile news as a large or huge
model program?  I have 2.10.3 up and running on my site catnip.uucp,
and had no problem compiling the whole thing as a pure small model
program (-i option).  The only caveat is that you have to specify
a larger stack size.  I used -F 2000, though I have no idea much
stack size it really needs.  BTW, I am running SCO Xenix system V
on a PC AT.
