I should have said instead.. any chance the agent will gain most of the functionality of the cache? I mean like, right now I have agent, asynch, backlog, and cache enabled, as parts of an ad-hoc plan to minimize waiting for slow ppp traffic. and so I can end up with 2 or more copies of the same article stored in various disk and memory locations. really, all I need is agent, once it gets async data fetch and semi-intelligent expire. (eg, for ! marks, instead of putting the article into the cache, mark it as not to be expired.) --
