I use the archive program, rkive to archive the sources groups. I used to have the archives directory mounted on my main system. Now that the archives file system has grown to over 200 megs (os2 is a prolific os!) I mounted it on the BSD system. Since then, nothing but garbage. rkive appends to log, index and a few other house keeping files. All these files are complete garbage since moving to BSD. I temporarily moved the archive to my Novell 3.11/NFS system, and things are fine. -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart. Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
