I am running SCO xenix 286 rel. 2.2.1. I need some type of news reader
program for the news. Source is prefered. The News software SCO
distributes has bugs in the vnews and rn programs, and they have not
acknowledged my mail about them. Rn will dump core when you try to save
a file, and will complain about someone resetting most of the groups when
it is re-ran. Vnews will skip postings, some times skipping more than a
hundred at a time. With Vnews it is rather hard to follow a discussion, 
and with rnews it takes for every to start it up again. if you can mail
me source that is compilable under SCO Xenix 286 with the developement
system rel. 2.2.0 patched to 2.2.1 please send me mail at one of the
following addresses.

Thanks in advance, Mark
