I'd be delighted to see a new GPL'd version of slurp and in the meantime
I'm very grateful for the peer support from Dan and others.

For me, at least with the Demon "newsborg" nothing else approaches slurp's
throughput.

Which brings me to my question.  Has anyone got slurp's history file
checking to work with Inn-2.2.1's extended-dbz format?

I have a libinn.a to link against and I changed some of the dbzdbm calls
in history.c to what I thought were the newer equivalents, retaining the
dbz option in conf.h.  I don't really know what I'm doing however.

Slurp no longer complains about the absence of a history file but
unfortunately it doesn't seem to pick up on duplicates either.

Suggestions for modifications to history.c gratefully received.

Many Thanks,

Neville Wilford
