- If you use the -hf optiopn or whatever, it leaves the ctl files in the
- spool directories to speed up processing. Helldiver doesn't expect them
- there, and doesn't know how to handle them, and thus the problem. Not
- sure who you want to blame for the problem, I shouldn't have left them
- there but Helldiver shouldn't try reading non-news articles.

- Switch to just -h (or -s if a single feed site...)
-
- I've learned a LOT of C since then, and hope to rewrite NSCU in the near
- future implementing linked lists and possibly a more efficient approach.
- Any kind of past record files, like the ctl files, will be done quit
- differently and not left in the spool dirs. But first, on with uubatch...
