For those of us who lack ftp access (and must therefore use mail
servers) it would be nice to see file _sizes_ included in the
announcements.  This would save the embarassment of receiving multi-MB
mail messages at user-supported UUCP sites.

How do I know that Joe Greatprogrammer's shareware "cd" replacement
utility doesn't include a 600-page manual, shipped as BMP images?
