The entire set of sources has now been posted. There are 8
parts of approximately 50K bytes each. If it's not obvious, they
are in shar format.
The installation guide will be posted tomorrow night.
Of course the TRUE hackers won't need any documention and will
charge right ahead and install it...
Should you do this, beware that among other things, the format of the
active file has changed. The makefile should handle just
about any situation, so in theory, all you have to do is edit defs.h and
your makefile and "make install".
Note that all of the paths are now in the makefile and that defs.h
is missing some old defines and has added some new ones.
Have fun.

Recently, you have no doubt noticed a rash of bug reports for
what is being passed off as the 2.10.2 release of news.
Frankly, I don't recall releasing it. The people submitting
bug reports are not any of the few people I have
testing it. And most irritatingly, these bugs aren't
present in my version of 2.10.2.
If you're going to "obtain" copies of early versions, please
don't b**** about all the bugs you find. You'll scare off
the people who are waiting for it to be debugged.
If the version number you have isn't dated 8/21/84, you
don't have anything even close to the current version and
should stop screwing around with it. (Or at least
stop complaining about problems you are having).

2.10.2 should (in theory) fit on a pdp-11 with split I/D.
No one has actually run it on one, but since it
passes lint (as well as any program can pass lint) and
runs on vaxes, 3b20s and 68000s with 16 bit ints and 32 bit
pointers, there is a good chance it will run with minor work
on a pdp11.
vnews is incredibly close in text size (65535 on our vax).
inews and readnews are about 55k text.
