well above most known fidonet software, yes... i'm aware of several
packages that can handle large messages without problems... one tosser, in
fact, spools to disk based swap files when it runs out of memory that it
can process in...

and i hate to bring it up, yet again, but... if coders were to actually
follow the specs, we'd not be having these "problems" with
message sizes... fidonet specifications specifically allow for large
messages via use of the phrasing "message body unbounded" ;)
