Makes dealing with a 1.8 MB object just a trifle >awkward.... That's the FIRST thing I thought about when I ftp'ed it from apple.com. Those of us who work on UNIX boxes can use split to get approximately floppy-sized chunks; but PSUVM, being an IBM mainframe (I'm guessing), probably doesn't have this available unless you roll your own. Too bad. I have it split up into roughly 260K chunks at our site. It's in /pub/mac/pub/programming/tn/tn.stack for those who have anonymous ftp capabilities. You can use sparky.nodak.edu (134.129.125.254) for now, but on December 7th, 1989 sparky will replace plains.nodak.edu, and assume its IP address (134.129.111.64). I think that the 260K size should be easier to move around. Hope this helps a bit for those with floppy-only systems. ||+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|| || Blayne Puklich nopuklic@Plains.NoDak.EDU "I think I'm going || || NDSU Student ACM nopuklic@ndsuvax.BITNET bald..." || || Vice-Chairperson NU087763@NDSUVM1.BITNET -- Rush, from Caress || || North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND of Steel, 1975 || || (701) 237-4408 || || "Corvettes are the best thing man has ever invented." || ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
