Yes, i've got the two -l's on the command line, the libraries aren't
there... pretty sure...

Socket library is self explanitory (it's not included with gcc?).
But what is the "nsl" library anyhow? You know where i might be
able to get it? I should have probably asked here in the first
place and leave my poor sysadmins alone. <-:

gcc -lnsl -lsocket -o uqwk uqwk.o options.o init.o mail.o misc.o close.o news.o reply.o offline.o nntpclient.o nntplib.o score.o
ld: -lnsl: no match
*** Error code 1

(it gives the same error for the -lsocket if it's first on command
line... both are missing, seemingly... i've looked in the
/usr/local/lib directory to verify and can't indeed it appears
they are not there (no libnsl.a or libsocket.a, or anything resembling
that I can see, or any subdirectories which look promising)... unless
i'm looking in the wrong place)...

Any hints welcome! A few more hints and i might be able to figure it
out.

have posted url to Uqwk2 already, i'm a bit slow these days.]
