Compiling SNews ver. 1.91
-------------------------
SNews was designed on a DOS machine, but support has been added for OS/2 which
has not been thoroughly tested. It has been compiled with Borland's Turbo C
compiler ver. 2.0 and Borland's C++ compiler ver. 3.1 under DOS, and with
Borland's C++ compiler ver. 1.0 under OS/2.
To compile, first customize the makefile and type "make". Note that Borland's
make ver. 2.0 will not work because of the conditional statements.
The file "todo" contains my wish list of features to add and bugs to fix.
These may or may not be added to future versions of SNews. (The chance that
they will be added increases greatly if you make them yourself and send
me a copy!)
I have included in the package the small batch file "dirnews" which displays a
(rather badly-formatted) NEWSBASE directory with the group name as well as
numeric file name. It must be run from the NEWSBASE directory, and requires
the sed (Stream EDitor) Unix-like program to function. Although the output is
hard to read (I have more important things to fix!), it does come in handy
sometimes while debugging.
