I am posting this using a PC-XT running PC/IX.  This is sufficient to prove
that news (2.11) will compile and link under the small model.  PC/IX has no
large model compiler.  It does, however, support split I and D space as does
Minix.  Unfortunately, Minix's compiler doesn't support split I and D. So, to
run news under Minix you will have to cross compile from PC/IX or some other
environment.  You will also have to figure out some way to communicate with
other Unix or Minix machines.
