Perhaps, but the 32Meg file length limit certainly affects me. In my case,
32Meg comes to  ~14,000 refs with abstracts and indexed. Searching such a
database locally is much easier than using one on-line, but I have had to
split the refs (now totalling ~18,000, downloaded from CD-ROMs) into two
files. After all, current hard disks store 32Meg without noticing it.
