Makes little difference if I still forget to tidy up a couple of large 
temporary files :(  I got a sub15ms 240Mb with this machine over 4 
years ago, scaleing by current prices I should have 4Gb now ... only 
3.34Gb short :(

Nope, wrong way 'round I think - expire can create a KA9Q history 
containing the message-ids from history.snw but it won't rebuild 
history.snw by reconstructing the cross-post and article numbering 
info and re-order it into arrival time.  

Cheers, Graham.
