Hi! Tony,

Please define big, medium or small. ;-)
I'm with Alexandr on this matter, for a number of reasons. Lets talk size
then; I have three Fido machines each off of /opt/ftn/fido, the largest of
which (this one) is a little over half a gig. (Ain't much of a filebase.)
Then there's the small-medium system, and the little point system.
I won't mention the other two binkD installs in some other /home/paul/xxaltfido
trees that just move files around... oh bugger! Oops.
Cheers,
Paul.
