NAME
	TrimNews

SYNOPSIS
	TrimNews [-all] [-h hours] [-d] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
	TRIMNEWS deletes news files that are older than N days, where N
	is specifiable on a per-newsgroup basis.  The UULIB:NewsGroups
	containing acceptable news groups has a second field which optionally
	specifies the number of days old a message is allowed to get before
	it is deleted.	Example:

	comp.sys.amiga.tech	10

	If the number is not specified, 7 is assumed.  If the number is 0,
	then no messages in that newsgroup will ever be deleted by TrimNews.

	TRIMNEWS is normally run nightly from your crontab.  The sample
	crontab has an entry for TRIMNEWS.

	The creation date of the news file is used to determine whether to
	delete it or not.

	The -all argument indicates that all news articles should be deleted
	regardless of age. The .next files are NOT deleted.

	The -h <hours> argument says that for entries where number of days
	is *not* specified, then apply <hours> hours instead.

	The -d argument causing extensive debugging information to be output.

	The -n argument causes Trimnews to *not* delay 2 seconds between
	processing each directory. Trimnews normally does this on 3.0 and
	above, due to some filesystem problems in beta OS'es released to
	developers.
