All-
Just a friendly note from the mailing list administrator. I let this
post go through but this is probably something that should have been
put up on an `ftp' server somewhere with a note about it's existence
sent to the list. I don't want to put hard size limits on anyone but
we all should use common sense and use `ftp' servers where appropriate.
Tnx.
