The problem is that I have 250,000 articles in this mbox file, so when I tried to arch it, arch ended up using over 1Gb of swap space, and it slowed my computer down to a crawl. I gave up and used the mbox splitter awk program I found in the list archives and I'm now building the archives 500 messages at a time. Hope that works. -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ Using vi is kind of like having sex. The first time to use it, it's kind of awkward, but after using for a while you start to get good at it and enjoy it. -- Eric Merkel ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
