The xenix library (Linker library flag -lx) gives you ftime().  If you
had told build "usg" rather than "v7" C News would not even have asked
for ftime(), but you might as well use the one in the xenix library....

Me, I just used my old Xenix binaries ... :-)  You may find that
the kernel ETRUNC parameter might be useful if any of your newsgroups
have component names > 14 characters in length.
