Some time ago I posted sample batch-file code for keeping HISTORY tailed 
to 1000 lines, whilst keeping a second HISTORY.LOG file containing more 
history (at least 10,000 lines, no more than 20,000). This has been 
working on this system quite reliably for some time now (famous last 
words...) and is surprisingly fast considering the fact that there's a 
fair bit of file processing going on.

It means KA9Q always starts with a 1000 line history file, but I always 
have at least 10,000 lines of history available if I need them (I haven't 
yet).

Would it be worth reposting the batch code?

Mark.
