If you want to pay the extra costs of doing >an unpacking immediately (it does cost a little extra, it turns out), >you have to work at it. I agree, if you use the standard C News method. I used to do it, but now have something more efficient and less of a hassle (it does some disk space management). It seems to run about 40% faster by avoiding a copy and puting all the front end code into one process. It also has enough "niceness" features that you may not notice it running during the day. Copies of rnews.c are available on request. -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us or b-tech!zeeff
