Vadim Chromiak noted a problem with FTPing large files...

I wonder if we can work out some way for us to set up out FTP site to
place the files you need there broken into small (100kb) files so
that you coudl then get the files you want, but in small chunks. We
have a program that Steve Kelley wrote years ago when I wanted to
take files home that were larger than a floppy disk. This program
called BREAKUP is on our ftp site and it lets you break a file and
put it back to gether again.

Considering the problems associated with FTPing large files, I think
that we could work out a way for the Purdue site to have a system
wherby you could send a request for a particular file, we get teh
file, break it up, put it on our FTP site and you could get it at
your leisure (at 300 BPS!!).

The files could be automatically mirrored on Guenter Valet's site if
necesary.

Would anyone else find this service useful?
