Description:
C-News is a reimplementation of the transport and storage
subsystems of the news software -- basically, everything
except news readers. We supply a simple news reader (written
by Michael Rourke, included by permission, slightly modified
[so bugs are probably our fault]) as a replacement for B-News
readnews suited to use by occasional users. For regular news
users, there are several more sophisticated readers widely
available, and all should work with C News. We use Larry
Wall's "rn" ourselves; we have not included it because this
distribution is already rather big.
-- quoted from README.old by Geoff Collyer and Henry Spencer
in the C-News distribution
Advertised architectures: "almost any Unix or closely Unix-like system"
Prerequisites: C compiler, a full set of Unix utilities and a fully
Bourne-compatible shell
