Dear SW list and Daniel...Thanks for all the trouble you went to,
Daniel, to help us with the downloading issue...

I can see you are right. I do not know how to break up a huge database
into such small parts. There are ten relational databases within
SignBank, and each one can be larger than the 5 megabytes you
mention....and I cannot throw out data from each relational database or
it won't relate...so that is why I went to CDs for people - it should
help the issue. I guess our downloads will have to be for programmers
and a few rare people who have broadband...

Val ;-)
