Alan,

*** Quoting Alan Ianson from a message to Sean Dennis ***

AI> I dunno how big he is.. :)

I was just figuratively speaking, of course. :)  It's a little hard to slap
¨someone from behind a console.

The OS/2 version of Squish can handle 256K messages according to the
¨documentation.  But I'd think that large messages are a no-no with respect
to ¨other people's systems.  My opinion, of course, but that's being rather
¨disrepectful to put out a message that you know other people's systems may
or ¨may not be able to handle.

Squish/2 does what I want and if it deletes a message that's that big,
well, it ¨doesn't need to be in my system anyway.

Later,
Sean
