I am currently thinking about changing over to C news. I have the
latest and greatest source, patched up to yesterday. I know that I
have to turn off inbound news and flush the outgoing (nntp) queues.
What about the history database? Do I have to convert it or what? Does
the mkhistory script do it for me? Or do you just start up C news and
let 'er rip?  I'm also wondering about other things, but this seems
the most important.

Also any caveats or horror stories, etc., about changing from B to C
are welcomed.
