I'm running C news patched through December (I'm hesitant to add the march patches since there is alot of controversy about them) on SCO Unix 3.2.2/MC. The file "lib/news/history.pag". I don't know what the heck it is, but it seems to grow without bounds. I have now recieved about a week or two of news since running C news, and the file is 6447912 bytes long; growing daily! How do I fix this behavior (or is this correct?) and what the heck is this file? Any help would be appreiciated; the quicker the better as I'm running out of disk space :) Many thanks... Oh and as an aside I do agree that the standards should be enforced, however it's hard to force someone to follow them... Why change something that works. You're going to have to prove to those people running non-standard-following software to change.
