Does anyone have a utility which reconstructs the history file from the netnews database? I am currently in the throes of bringing up news 2.10.2 on a couple of new machines, and it looks like the history file was wiped out a few days ago. In other words, I need some mechanism for deleting old news which doesn't appear in the history file. Any suggestions? -- Douglas H.

Have you tried expire -r to rebuild the history file? I tried it out, and in 2.10.2 it seemed to work OK for me. Gordon Burditt convex!ctvax!trsvax!sneaky!gordon
