The Little Proggie That Gave Its All

So I run a trial/debugging run of a debug-version of a program, which

dumps debug/progress-messages at various points, but lots of them, more

than my bash shell memory can hold, so I redirect the output to a

text-file, and then load that file up with gedit--

Which churns and churns and churns--

So I do a quick stat of that text-file--

And it turns out to be 44 megabytes . . . .

So I had to kill poor noble foolish gedit.

<sniff>

<takes hat off in silent respect>

(I killed the text-file, too.)

Now the system itself has to be dealt with.

It's better this way.

A far far better thing.

Especially for running anything else on the system.

And my poor HD, which got flopped right into Swapfile ****.

OK, I just sorted about thirty-five thousand Usenet posts into about

fifteen newsgroup folders, discarded a few thousand others, and emptied my

Pan messages cache.

Snappy!

And it only took two days and 307 lines of C (loc, no comments or

blanklines included) to do it . . . !

Of course, it'll go a little quicker next time. Heh.

I can do it with a single command now.

And it takes note of which directories and newsgroups you have set up

Now the system itself has to be dealt with.
