The distro is Caldera 2.3 , all nice and graphical and has Star Office
which has cut my use of NT and 98 to .1%. I start it first thing in
the morning and turn it off every night.  A response on the Caldera
list suggests that a) I set up logrotate as a cron job to fix it or b)
just leave the machine on over night as cron should already be set to
do this early morning?
Guess I will try all suggestions ...
