676.1 | This is good stuff! | SNDCSL::SMITH | William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith | Wed Jan 27 1988 15:51 | 6 |
| How long is a while? I will occasionally go back thru this conf
looking for interesting stuff that I didn't have an application
for when it first went by...

| You may want to try to compress the file, first, if space is a problem.

| "A while" is probably several months; space isn't the problem as much
as the SEARCHers during the day. It does get a compress every so often.
I may go thru it and zap the junk and leave it around more-or-less
forever....

676.4 | Keep the same name | BIOMIC::BELL | ALL-IN-1, OA of life! | Thu Jan 28 1988 04:35 | 7 |
|
... but please keep the new name the same as it is now, and rename
the write-locked one HACKERS_OLD or something,
cheers

| Re: .-1
No way! If you do that, note UID's start from the begining again,
but people will still be using there old seen maps!

| re. .4
Why don't you just modify the target filename, and retain your notebook
entry-name, presumably HACKERS.
MOD ENT HACKERS/FILE=NODE::NOTES$LIBRARY:HACKERS_2

| re .6: (re .4) Presumably for the new users of the file, who'll try to access
HACKERS and get the old file, rather than the new one.
Many conferences have been restarted because of the size or other reasons.
The usual practice is to rename the old, writelocked conference and start
the new one under the same name.
The SEEN map is no problem, just type SET SEEN/BEFORE={some date before new
conference was created}. The moderator should set the notice of the conference
to a suggestion to do a SET SEEN so those who missed this discussion will know
why there is no more new notes.
(-: Or if the moderator's truely a hacker, he'll set the UID of the new
conference to pick up where the old one left off! :-)

676.8 | There really is no problem with renaming the old one. | ZFC::DERAMO | From the keyboard of Daniel V. D'Eramo | Fri Jan 29 1988 17:41 | 14 |
| If the existing UFP::HACKERS is renamed to, for example,
UFP::HACKERS_1, then just do the following
Notes> MODIFY ENTRY HACKERS /NAME=HACKERS_1 /FILE=UFP::HACKERS_1
Now the HACKERS_1 entry in your notebook still points to the
old notefile [i.e., this one] with your UNSEEN map intact.
Then you can ADD ENTRY UFP::HACKERS assuming that is what the
new one is called, and it will start off with everything unseen.
I assumed that was what .6 was saying and .7 misunderstood.
