[ale] large file xfer challenges

[aaron]

Thanks Geoffrey. Will check this out and share the info with the winblows

On closer investigation the RAR package that Douglas Bridges recommended also

I'm still reasearching the Data DVD question so I can just avoid these 
splitting headaches [grin] altogether... at least until my files are greater 
than 4.4 gig.
