rusen135.zip is pretty large: 246550. Bitnet has a limit of 300000
for file transfers, and although rusen135.zip falls below that limit
it would still tend to slow down the works a bit if many people
decided to get it over Bitnet. For those people who wanted to get it
over the Internet (i.e. using e-mail), they would have to be using a
MIME-compliant mailer or request that it be sent in uuencoded format
(since it's a binary file). My contention is that anyone savvy enough
to request a file from LISTSERV in MIME format or to uudecode an
encoded file would have no trouble simply ftp'ing the file from one
of the mirror sites.
In other words... I don't prefer. :) We're kind of strapped for
disk space at this point anyway. Sorry. Nice idea, though.
