Hi! I just started using C-News on my machine, and I've a big problem with my history.pag-file. The size of it is about 7 MB, but I only have about 1000 articles on my machine. The problems resulting are that relaynews and expire take a looooong time to run, maybe due to excessive paging (I got 4MB Ram). I'm using C-News' dbz-database. What can I do, what might be the problem, please help me. (mkhistory doesn't solve the problem, it creates a file same size...)

Almost certainly you have the infamous compiler bug described in notebook/problems. -- "Maybe we should tell the truth?" | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology "Surely we aren't that desperate yet." | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
