Has anyone out there written an archiver that writes expired notes to tape
instead of another notesfile?  The procedure I was thinking of was this:

      for each notesfiles in LIST do
          for each note in THISONE do
              if THISONE is expired
                  dd note and responses to tape
                  make entry in online "archive" notesfile as follows:
                        subject is same as original
                        Was written by <the original author>
                        Was archived on <tape number> on mm/dd/yy
                  delete original note
              fi
          od
      od

If no one has done anything like this, I think I will give it a shot.
