Hi Jason!

Sorry I can't help you with your ANU compile problem, but...

 I was running ANU news for two years with constant headaches and wasted
time. It seemd I was permanently running reorgs or rebuilding indexes. A
half year ago, I stumbled across Netwin's DNEWS server
(http://netwinsite.com/dnews.htm) . It only costs a few hundred dollars, and
it is brilliant software. I have completely forgotten that it is running on
my server - there is no management necessary, and disk usage is down by 95%
since DNEWS supports a "sucking" mode where only those newsgroups get pulled
from an upstream site which are actually being read, as opposed to a full
feed where the vast majority of all articles get expired unread. And it can
even validate users against SYSUAF.

Do yourself a favor and convert to DNEWS - you will free a disk or two, and
leave the office a lot earlier.

Cheers,

Christian

PS: I am in no way afilliated with the company that produces it, other than
that I am an unconditionally pleased customer.
