Thu Aug 19 11:42:01 PDT 1999 — News maintenance. Yesterday, we did some maintenance on Ultra’s active file, essentially syncronizing the news database’s article numbers with those actually found on the disk. Some newsreaders may respond to the change by showing a newsgroup with unread articles, and possibly no unread news when such a newsgroup is opened. We apologize for the inconvenience; we don’t anticipate doing that again for another year or two. -Scott
