+WORKAROUNDS
+===========
+1) `dbx newsx' complains of a symbol table problem and won't run
+ Apparently, `gcc -g' can produce things dbx can't handle. This has been
+ seen in dbz/dbz-v3.o, dbz/dbz.o, and dbz/hash.o. Recompile the file
+ without the "-g" option and relink newsx. E.g., if dbx complains about
+ dbz/dbz.o, edit dbz/Makefile to remove "-g " from CFLAGS,
+ `rm dbz/dbz.o src/newsx', and rerun `make'.
