I compiled nntp (clientlib.o) and vn with the nntp option on a 6000.
It works ... except that command line parsing is screwed up.  I'll
take a look at it when I get a chance.  Note! The c compiler won't
let you do perverted things like store into a string constant.  I
had to use the AIX tmpnam rather than the vn version.

We ported a fairly large OS/2-PM and X/Windows-Motif application also.
Works perfectly ( port was from AIX/PS2 to 6000, not RT. ).
