[comp.sys.mac] When is it necessary to split up .Hqx postings?

eacj@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Julian Vrieslander) (02/16/88)

I have a couple of large binary files (approx. 100k after binhexing) that I
am preparing for submission to comp.binaries.mac.  Are there any guidelines
for splitting up long .Hqx postings?  What is the reason for splitting the
files, and what is the suggested size for the separated parts?

I would just as soon post them as single large files, unless there is a
reason not to.

	I think that the binaries are always
split into about 32K pieces so that all the
various networking programs that notes uses
don't break.
