     When we last left our flamers, we were discussing the best way to send
things like the MacDeveloper magazine.  There seems to be a slight error
in the way one part of my response was viewed.

     Here's the problem.  I (the one with two ">"'s) didn't mean to put
down packit.  I think it's an okay program.  I was pointing out that transfer
time would be the same.  I use the macsend shell script so I don't have
any problems starting up ut-sally to send me lots of files while I go deal
with mass amounts of beauracracy and paperwork.
