- I had almost no problems building C-news on 386bsd - most postings
- made by me are from just such a system.
-
- The only significant hurdle is the ftime() function, which has a
- "clone" function in the SysV libraries supplied with C-News - you
- can use that one. (ftime() has been deprecated).
-
- Oh - I also had some problems with mawk (many of the C-news scripts
- use awk) which I eventually tracked down to the math emulation problems.
- If you have a math coprocessor, you should have no worrys.
