Reducing argus-2.x log files for archiving

[Peter Van Epp]

	I can recommend AIT2 tapes in a tape robot but I admit its a mite 
expensive :-) I'm seeing about the same increase in 2.x file size although
I expect an 80 or 100 gig disk and aformentioned AIT2 tapes (at some 70 gigs
per tape) will probably fix me up for the long term.
