	I got STEVIE from terminator and gasped at its 186K but when I ran it
through removesym (posted a little while back for removing symbol tables so 
that pack would work ) it ended up at about 60K !!! and after packing it is 
even smaller. (However I must admit that I haven't used it much yet and so I
can't say how robust it is.)
