- I just set it up and I do NOT use DOTDIRS, due to Heirarchical Format

- Not (IMHO). I will almost guarantee that the problem he is having is the fact
- that he has some newsgroups in his active file that do not have directories.
- If you run the arnmaster and see: Warning! Blha blah has no directory
- Then the database is NOT created, hence no files in that directory. Also,
- the active file needs an active.bak with ZERO's in it to reflect that
- nothing has been read yet.
