We're handicapped nowadays (in a way!) by the fact that utzoo is no longer a 16-bit machine. We still try to keep space consumption down so C News can run on small machines (and run efficiently on large ones!), but we no longer have the old 11/44 enforcing such discipline. Expire has grown some, and particularly when you're getting a lot of newsgroups, it appears to have trouble fitting in 16 bits. I have some ideas that might help with this, and plan to try them out soon, but I fear I have no magic to suggest meanwhile. -- Apollo @ 8yrs: one small step.| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology Space station @ 8yrs: .| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
