Hi all,

Here is an interesting question (to me at least).
Aside from the "convert" routines in newspack.com, what conditions could
create a second copy of the NEWS.ITEMS file?

It seems to be connected to newsskim.com as the file was created during
or after the skim run.  Further, this was the only news management routine
running at the time.  For simplicity's sake, my news batch routine is
suspended from two hours before to at least an hour after the end of the
skim run.

Note, I don't always have a second copy hanging around.  So is it supposed
to create a second version and delete the first, or is something else going
wrong?
