MVL> Maximum message size: 63k (16 bit), 256k (32 bit)

 PL> I've been wondering for long time about the message size as well. I

 PL> to *.LNG.

 PL> I've looked around before and never found any way to deal with

 PL> this? 

shirley, you jest! ;)

there is the packet split stuff... there's a fido technical document about
the split proposal to break messages up into smaller units but my bitch
about it is/was that it puts the onus on the feeder instead of the feedee
with the size problems...

i'm thinking that the pktsort package does the split stuff as well as
sorting messages in the pkts together by area name which also helps tossing
to go faster...

if you can't find a copy, let me know and i'll give you some more info ;)
