Re: heirarchical newsgroups, a warning
During the design of version B, I made and then un-made the '.' <-> '/'
change.  This was to preseve compatiblity with mhnews, part of RAND's
MH system.  However, compatibility with MH has yet to be used and the
change might be worth putting back in.  Once MH compatibility is abandoned,
there are a few data-base changes that can be made and would make things
faster.
