	Yeah, I read this.  That's where I got the pointer to the 
bboards.h file.

	I knew this too.  This is what we're using to do the auto-
archiving.  I went back and looked at the man page, and noticed an
optional argument that I had missed before: namely the ability to
specify which bboards you want bbexp to archive.  This essentially
means you need multiple bbexp lines in the crontab file rather than 
just one.
	Sorry to bother you all, I've only been reading for a couple
of decades...I should get the hang of it soon ;-)
