I recently gave all the latest Cnews patches to a local site and
they promptly put in all the patches and rebuilt Cnews.  Now their
history files are monstrous.  The guy who applied the patches and
rebuilt Cnews said his history.pag was on the order of 400~ MB,
larger than the drive itself ... His system is running SCO UNIX.
I recall seeing articles on similar problems recently which were
easily fixed once one knew what to do.  Can anyone give me a clue
as to help this guy ?  BTW he is using dbz.
