       When  programs like digit delete lines, they do not really
       go away, but are simply marked as deleted.  This  is  done
       primarily  for  speed.  But  a  side effect is that vector
       files can end up carrying a lot of dead weight with  them.


       _v_._c_l_e_a_n	will go through a vector file and remove all dead
       lines in the file thus potentially reducing  the  size  of
       the file.


       You do _n_o_t have to run _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t afterwards.
