Hello!
	Just patched up to 11 and curiously enough expire pukes out this
	nasty message: (yes it's another on of those nasty expire bugs)
	"Cannot open /usr/lib/news/history"
	Well looking at the directory tells me there isn't a file called
	'history' so I then proceed to look at expire#8 and see what changed.
	Well the line of code in expire that created the file in the first
	place got axed by patch9 leaving an xfopen in rebuild with no file.

	Question: :-)
	  Has anybody else had this problem? My temporary fix was to just
	  touch /usr/lib/news/history and then run expire which would
	  run ok. Which leads to another question whats this file for
	  anyway!

	Another thing that bugged me was the failure to mention that little
	def called HP9K5 in ndir.h. cute. I have an HP9000, but I am curious
	about what the K5 stands for?

					Just a Have'n fun here!
