Will someone please help me install netnews version B 2.11...here is my current
problem:-

When I tried to send news with postnews I got this message,
"Article not posted - exit status 11"
and received this message with rnews -U
"inews: rnews failed, status 11. Batch saved in /usr/spool/news/880xxxxxxxxxxx".

In both instances a file (.inaxxxx) was created for each error message in
SPOOLDIR.

I am using SCO runtime version 2.1.3 and development version 2.1.4 on a Zenith
248 with 1.2 meg ram. I used the supplied localize.xenix and defined SMALL_
ADDRESS_SPACE in the defs.h file. I got these warning during compiled:-

inews.c
/usr/include/unistd.h(30) : warning 5: `F_ULOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(31) : warning 5: `F_LOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(32) : warning 5: `F_TLOCK' : redefinition
ifuncs.c
/usr/include/unistd.h(30) : warning 5: `F_ULOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(31) : warning 5: `F_LOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(32) : warning 5: `F_TLOCK' : redefinition
funcs.c
funcs.c(733) : warning 47: `=' : different levels of indirection
uname.c

expire.c
/usr/include/unistd.h(30) : warning 5: `F_ULOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(31) : warning 5: `F_LOCK' : redefinition
/usr/include/unistd.h(32) : warning 5: `F_TLOCK' : redefinition

Following are my present configurations:-

All directories leading to SPOOLDIR are 755 and anything beneath SPOOLDIR
are 777 permissions.

sys file

mysite:all::
myfeed:net,mod,world,comp,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,misc,na,usa,dc,to.myfeed::

distributions file

local		Local to this site
dc		Everywhere in this general area
usa		Everywhere in the USA
na		Everywhere in North America
world		Everywhere on Usenet in the world

I ran "inews -d local -C to.myfeed" to create a tested newsgroup, and here is
a portion of my active file:-

talk.religion.misc 00000 00001 y
talk.rumors 00000 00001 y
control 00067 00001 y
junk 00000 00001 y
to.myfeed 00000 00001 y

Please email.
Thank you,
