I just made the grand experiment, and it seems to have moved wonderfully.
The only thing that needs changing is SPOOL in Makefile, and to recompile
and resintall everything (and move the data, of course). Posting, reading,
checking, cancelling, and expiring all seem normal (even expire with
archive..) One comment on expire with archive: The place where stuff is
archived is dependent upon where SPOOL is. What happens is that it strips
the final directory name (normally news) and replaces it with oldnews. So,
/u/news becomes /u/oldnews. Expire will NOT archive unless oldnews exists
(it WILL create subequent directories, tho...).

I now have a couple of hundred megabytes to play with, rather than
9 megabytes to share with uucp and lpd. FLame away, folks!
