Gene and Jon,

Thanks for the quick replies.  I am not at all sure why there are so many
directories to be flushed - they range in age from March thru last week, and
they all, but the last, apply to a time before I became sysop here. So I am
not all that concerned about the ancient ones, I'd just like to flush the
last one (recent) and move ahead.

So it would be okay for me to tar/gzip all the other directories?  If I
remove them Amanda won't get mad at me?  Or do I somehow need to tell Amanad
"hey, those aren't so important anymore."

Tom
