I wrote this to David Orange.  He was good enough to reply but I'm STILL
getting literally dozens of unsolicited messages loading up my mailbox.
Those paying for their mail must be pretty pissed off.  If this doesn't
stop I for one will be unsubscribing and recommending that the list be
closed pending moderation.

Jim,

Point well taken.  My queries prior to posting went unanswered.  That is
whay I posted small files first to see what the response was.  I'm
currently searching for an ftp/web site.  Again, my apologies.
