AM> last two months tonight, so you'll have ten or so meg free soon... :)

As a QWK packet, it compressed to 6Mb, 18Mb uncompressed - nevertheless,
KWQ coped with it without a problem...

...yes Paul, but...

Paul, please just answer the question.  I am not referring to my own
system.

The only thing I'd like to do with my own system is upgrade Squish to
the 32bit version.  Other than that, it does exactly what I want, the
way I want it too.  I am a point off your system, and that is all you
have to worry about.
