May the 4ths be with you

Hi Bill,

Both sizes of files are commonly transferred at winmx. The largest one I
have downloaded was 690 megs. 4.6 megs is usually with the 6 meg limit of
most isp email boxes--so long as you have it cleared out regularly. I agree
that 41.6 megs would "try" most email systems however. The 41.6 meg file
coud also be transfered at icq or at the #pianotech chat line on Starlink.
