It comes with the netnews software. It has the advantage of deleting old articles in addition to the old history lines. Be sure to upgrade to 2.10.2 netnews. I have had no problems with its "expire" command. Good luck. -- Ron Heiby heiby@cuae2.UUCP (via ihnp4) AT&T-IS, /app/eng, Lisle, IL (312) 810-6109
