It's probably irrelevant, but the chunk that already existed and was
too big was for less than a week of June.

I bet that if I'd changed it to daily it wouldn't have broken up the
existing 1/4 Meg file.

Well, of course the previous logs aaaaaaaa0a1remain as given *until* they
are
reindexed.  So, you just force a new index for the new setup, do your
business, then force it back to the old setup.  No?

Well, maybe no.  The completed notebook logs are discrete, closed files,
ain't they.  If you start your list with monthly notebook and later
decide a month is too long a period, so change it to weekly

Well, sleep deprived (depraved?) that I am, I'm going to try it on one
of my big international lists, see how it actually flys.
