- Subject would be wonderful, but text and subject would be even better.
- You could do just subject for 1.66 and add full text later if necessary.
-
- Is there any plan to use a database type storage method for newsgroups?
- It would be very nice to have at least a mailbox type format and it would
- cut down on lost disk space due to smaller files quite a bit. It would
- speed backups and restores too... My tape software really slows down when
- it gets to my Usenet partition.
-
- Yeah, I know you have to keep things compatible amongst the various
- versions (*NIX and DOS) of Waffle. However, sometimes things need to be
- optimized a bit more for one than the other. ;-) ;-) I'd like to carry a
- few more newsgroups here, but am already running well over 8000 files just
- on my Usenet partition with 90 newsgroups now.
