        Fidonet yes.  TG no.  Tim No.  Me No.

        Seriosuly, its inefficient.

        My FD still uses *.msg and it takes 1024 bytes per netmail
        attach even though it is really only maybe 5 bytes
        in size.  That's part of the fundamenntals of the FAT
        system, yes but it also is just a bad format.  Jam
        is more efficient.  Squish even though its a bit slower
        in large groups is even better.  :)
