This is NOT needed with BNR3 ...in fact the whole reason for the 3 rebuild
was to get past the small db problems, and very well it has been done.

All you do if you do want to reset the db is to go to the newsgroups page
and click on the reset button for each group you want to reset. Close the
prog, then run one of the vacuum .bat files I have posted to this list
(many times with this info) and you have a fresh small clean and fast db.

As for the need for a clean install, I have never seen the need and infact
the BNR 2 and 3 setups I use have been dragged round from box to box over
the last ??? well at least 7+ years because of one of my servers I got to
use with BNR is that old. I have wiped and started frest, but see nothing
to be gained ...apart from the ability of saying so, a fresh install runs
almost as fast as a fresh vacuumed db.

As for the .ini I have yet to see/find anything in there that is not
needed. e.g.

FilterHist=tng,dsn,ds9_s1,"dsn s5d1",ds9s4,ds9,ds9_,st_ds9,ruimtes,ruimte
LastOpen=946836900
NewCount=3271
    These three I don't need I think

Like newer star trek ? that is your filter list for the group[s] they were
attached to, and the amount of posts to said group and the amount to mark
new. The lines above them were for the groups sorting, the lines above
that were for the groups the names they have and what type they are, but
if you want to go thru all of the subbing to each group thing every time
then skip it.

I am the other way and have a basic .ini that is all filled out with the
basic groups, how I like each to sort what it comes under and all of
the servers, all filled in so its easy to fix it there is ever a problem,
I also have the .ini and que auto saved before each start up of BNRx after
the db file[s] are defragged, which I do before each start with the
another .bat file I have posted in the past. Server mode is for what mode
you have each server running in, like ..I only have 1 overview (header)
server and 14 article, a few not used at this time and some testing or
normal servers.

Search is also a good thing, most of this has been spoke about before.
