I needed this while converting to news 2.8, which has a different history file format from the earlier release I was running. Most importantly, the new 'expire' program doesn't understand the old history file format. If there's enough interest, I'll post the source to net.source. Rick {sri-unix,randvax}!fortune!kiessig
