(The control line?) The effect of this is to store this article both as a normal article, and as article number 1. The changes to expire are simple. Some work needs to be done to recognize the new type of control message, but this too should be fairly simple. Rn doesn't need to be changed at all. If we want the Xref feature to work for this kind of article, not too important, these patches needs to be changed somewhat, though. -- "For me, UNIX is a (way of) being."
