Subject: Anyone want to share a compileable NNTP?
Organization: The Ohio State University

We've been trying to compile NNTP for a while now, with no luck. We've
got plenty of helpful suggestions from people (thank you much) but as
we've tackled one problem, another arises, and its getting to be outrageous.
NNTP should compile very easily. (we're trying nntp.1.5_11)

Does anyone who has recently successfully compiled this package want
to send it my way?

Just incase your curious, here's the results from the last trial-compile:
(granted, we've been able to cut the error list by a 3rd, but.... it seems
to always get stuck on Index, which is sometimes externally declared, and
sometimes not. The only way it was able to compile newnews.c was to 
comment out the "extern char *index();" under the 
"getword(fp,w,line.linesize)" routine.)

Any ideas?
