It's the -r and -h flags that were not converted from 2.9. If you're having trouble, read the manual page and use the -v option to find out why. There is a bug in the 2.10 expire that causes only the first link of an article in multiple newsgroups to be unlinked. The rest stay put. This causes your disk to eventually fill up. I am unsure what the bug was but have just installed sjk's version (with -r and -h fixed) and the bug seems to have gone away. I did have to fix a permission problem with the DBM files. Mark
