The only catch is with regard to overview files, one per newsgroup, to which per-article header data are appended. Whether or not it's a large catch in the discussion about what I call an "expfs", an expendable filesystem with a care-less (careless) attitude towards integrity, I do not know. -- Howard Goldstein <hgoldste@bbs.mpcs.com>
