It's not for me, Bob.  It's for 2 of my downlinks that are running small
DOS systems with limited memory.  Both have questioned about the
".lng" packets that Squish is leaving in their inbounds.  I've
got no problems with long (or ar least reasonable long) messages. SquishP
does fine with them.  (Though I've seen it choke on a particular messasge
some joker posted that was almost 350k in length of UUEncoded junk.  But
that wan't in this Echo and it was a long time ago.

Best regards,
Marc
