They will shortly. I had a discussion with Chris last week and that
was one of my questions. He expects to have DNews 4.0 in release status
within the next month. 4.0 should eliminate the disk fragmentation problem
since they completely rewrote the disk storage to take care of these things.
In addition it will allow you to spread your news across multiple drives.
