Changi is under permanent development. Many people around the world have been and still are very helpful in detecting and reporting bugs. Most of these bugs had been removed, but some remaining problems had been discovered too late, while others will require some major code changes.
Under no circumstances Changi should be considered free of bugs. It had been very well tested and will satisfy its users in most environments. But because of its flexibility and the resulting complexity, it is impossible to verify each possible combinations of varying installations.
If you think you discovered an unknown program bug, see the chapter about "Reporting Bugs how you can help to improve this product.
Unfortunately there isn't any specific environment setting to change this behaviour, but we are lucky that Changi is buggy at that point.
The server uses the lowercase of the first character of CHANGICOMPRESSCALL, which defaults to gzip -c. Putting gzip on drive c: and setting CHANGICOMPRESSCALL to c:\gzip -c should do the trick.

, the remaining articles are
not removed. They will expire in the normal way and vanish after
their expire period.However, when rebuilding the history index, then all message-ids of articles within removed newsgroups will be lost. As a result these articles will never expire and remain on your disk until deleted manually.
Under rare circumstances Expire will fail while checking the index with option -V, and keeps running in an endless loop.
In critical applications you may generally run Expire with option -r before starting the server. But be aware, that this will destroy remembered message-ids and increase the danger of accepting late duplicates. Before running Expire you may additionally check for the existence of CHANGI.PID. Finding this file in CHANGIWORKDIR after rebooting is an indication that the server didn't shutdown properly.
