I think some systems impose a "message length filter" to mail traffic, but
that's all I know about it (no idea what that arbitrary limit might be).
I believe I have received all (or atleast most) of the posted binaries,
although one or two failed (PK)ARC's CRC check when unpacking :-(.  I enjoy
seeing binaries posted to the net (the bigger the better :-).  Although
in many cases I already have the software; every once in a while I pick
up a newer version, or some package that I otherwise wouldn't have known
about...  This makes it all worthwhile!!!
