Thanks to 'LabRat' and Yngvar for the answers. I think I now
have got the point about expiring - but one more question: Is
it correct that an article is always written to a _contiguous_
stretch of space in the news.dat file? Only then my analogy to
FAT wouldn't hold, and the space of deleted articles would
most probably be recovered some time.

And to LabRat: What is NNGIN? Never heard of this.

Bye, MQ
