	Does anyone know of a way to limit the size of a news batch file to
one site but retain a larger value for others when sending news?  I have an
IBM running UFgate that seems to be having trouble with large news batch files.
I don't really want to send them individually or as plain ASCII.  Do I have to
tell news to send everybodies news in smaller pieces?  I thought of maybe there
was a way to send the articles as individual single item batches such that his
decompress routine would still work and we could take advantage of compressed
news files.  I already had to create a way to sent those files using 12 bit
compression instead of 16 bit.  He was shelling out to DOS to handle the news
and was running out of memory.
