Linda, many thanks for the quick correction of my last problem.
Here comes a new one, which looks a little harder:

Today, i did a PURGE on our server (it was not the first time).
During the PURGE, an operation exception occured, and then -
oh shock - our NETNEWS GROUPS file was deleted (800 lines).
Has anybody seen this before?

If anybody is interested, i have written two execs, that try very
hard to reconstruct a NETNEWS GROUPS file out of NETNEWS DESCRIPT
and the VLIB and GROUP files. They run forever, but i think, i have
repaired everything by now.

Here is the 'interesting' part of the console log:
