- The history file is an essential part of the Yarn news base. It
- contains the location where each article is stored. If the history
- file becomes corrupted, some articles may become inaccessible.
-
- The mkhist program is a utility that rebuilds the history file by
- scanning the articles in the spool files in the $YARN\news directory.
- If the spool files are not corrupt, mkhist should restore the links to
- every article in the news base. To use the program, ensure the YARN
- environment variable is set to the Yarn data directory, then run mkhist
- with no arguments.
