	I've hacked up a little (10K source bytes) program which
creates a history file (normally /usr/lib/news/history) from
existing news items.  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.
