I'm of the opinion that any newsadmin lacking sufficient neurons to
rub together, so as to realize that he needs to copy the active file
from the old system to the new one, ought to be drawn-and-quartered at
dawn, hung at noon, and shot at dusk. Gimme time and I'll think of
something for midnight, too.

Probably not, but the one good thing is that you can probably do it
once to create a keyboard macro, if you're very careful, and the
pattern is sufficiently regular (as it surely ought to be).
