With pleasure.  I printed out the docs 'Installing Internet News' and 
followed the instructions in that, after changing the config.data 
file to their suggestions for  a BSDI system (section 4.3) - it all 
worked except for one thing which was them saying EXITVAL and 
_EXITVAL were volatile voids when they seem to compile ok with voids.

There are only two sections you really need and thats the 4.3  config 
changes for a BSDI system and 6 compiling the system.

I only used the BUILD script as a last move to create the proper 
active and history files.

Any problems gimmi a shout and ill try to tell you what i did - 
although i am only a total novice at these things.
