Help!  I've been trying to install the patches on our Vaxes (running UNIX 5.0),
but I keep having problems.  I had problems with "uid" in postnews.c and "COLS"
in virtterm.c being multiply defined after patch #1, so I made some kludges
around that.  Now I'm getting:
a> 	[bunch of stuff deleted]
a> 	cc  -O  -DUSG -Dindex=strchr -Drindex=strrchr -DRNEWS=\"/usr/bin/rnews\" -DSPOOLDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/spool/news\"  -DBATCHDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/spool/batch\" -DLIBDIR=\"/../mtgzz/usr/lib/news\"  -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -DNEWSUSR=\"news\"  -DNEWSGRP=\"news\" -DSCCSID -Dvfork=fork  -DCHKN -c pathinit.c

a> ld fatal: Error(s). No output written to checknews

I want to keep up-to-date, but I don't know how to get this stuff to work
without major hacking on my part.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
