I had a vague rembrance that the BITNET limits had been mentioned before and found this on BIONEWS: Article <90275.154850JS05STAF@MIAMIU.BITNET> Oct 2 20:48 Subject: Re: ANONYMOUS FTP FROM BITNET From: JS05STAF@MIAMIU.BITNET (Joe Simpson @ Miami University - Academic Computer Service) (4 lines) BITNET usage guidelines suggest that no file should be larger that 3000 lines of 80 column records. Many genbank data sets are much larger than this. Please use BITFTP only for files that approximate the BITNET usage guidelines.
