I'm wondering why the on-disk article format for nntpcache is different from INN (nntpcache uses \r\n at the end of each line while INN uses a standard Unix \n). I can see why you would want to do this in order to perform as little processing as possible from the disk read to the network write - but in that case, why not also store the terminating ".\r\n"? (Why am I wondering about this? I was looking at the possibility of converting an existing INN based server into an nntpcache server, and keeping the old article spool while converting the history database. The different on-disk formats look like enough of a stumbling block that I have shelved that project for now.) Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
