From this, a program which scanned ACTIVE and renamed existing newsgroup 
files didn't ought to be too hard. Not, you understand, that I have any 
interest in this as a non-Snews user....

I must admit that I've been thinking of doing somthing along these lines 
for some time, so maybe I'll have a look at your code in a quiet moment 
(are there any?); I'll let this group know in the unlikely event that 
something comes of it.
