Anyway, I'm not sure honestly. I would hope it would do as much as possible, but I really don't know. All I know is that when I was doing experiments a while back (sgnus .2? or .1? something I would think) and I started sgnus, I'd get a massive memory increase. Then I would quit sgnus and restart it again. I would get yet another memory increase. This was sort of annoying, since you get XEmacs to grow to a fairly large size simply by reading news say 3 or 4 times during the day. These were fairly consecutive bursts; I should try this again and do things in between the sgnus runs to see if anything gets cleaned up. Maybe tommorrow (ha). Lars> -- "Yes.
