Lines: 11 There are several of these arbitrary upper limits in inews. I have fixed most of them, including AFSIZ, by dynamically allocating the required space. I will try to dig up some diffs that I can post. Another one to watch out for is LINES, and of course BITMAPSIZE, which you probably thought was fixed when they went to the three-field active file. Guess again. It's still static, although it starts at the lowest article number now instead of at 0, which helps a little. You can still get into trouble with it if you have some groups you never expire, like we do. Last I checked, we had something like 300 Gigabytes of free disk space. Eat your heart out.
