I have a couple of large binary files (approx. 100k after binhexing) that I
am preparing for submission to comp.binaries.mac.  Are there any guidelines
for splitting up long .Hqx postings?  What is the reason for splitting the
files, and what is the suggested size for the separated parts?

I would just as soon post them as single large files, unless there is a
reason not to.
