   Those all I still need to finish reviewing, as not only are there still 
..sts
(status files, IIRC?) going back as far as 2004 but there are also things like
..flo files timestamped from 2010.  The old *.sts files can likely be removed
but things like those old .flo files I'll need to check more closely.
  
   On a separate issue; I've also found a number of *.sa# (where "#" is a 
single
digit) files that have zero size, all from earier this morning at different
times.  I'll have to check the logs to see if there's anything about what 
might
 have happened.

   Yes, I do indeed; a number of which haven't been touched for over a decade.
Preumably, if they also have only old *.sts file or are empty then they can 
just
be deleted.  (And would be recreated again if needed...)
