:SCO apparently have got it to work.  You can ftp B News 2.11
:binaries as compiled by SCO for Xenix from
:ftp.uu.net:/sco-archive/xnx143.{v1.Z,v2.Z,ltr} but I don't understand
:why a new news site would want to run B News.  Have you considered
:running C News instead ?  You can't possibly have that much spare CPU
:to throw away, surely ? 

I ftp'ed the stuff and it appeared to load up ok, it did complain about
a file missing though (still got to track down which one is missing).  I
wanted to get up B News mostly because I'm familar with it (ie. lazy).  
>From what I've read, C News will be a lot better in terms of cpu, but I'm
not familar enough with Xenix to answer the billion or so questions about
do I have feature x, y, z, etc, etc.  As for spare CPU, well, I'm suffering
partial news withdrawl and I need to get a fix at home :-).
