I am trying to upload an application to c.b.i.p but I don't think it's
getting there and could use a little help.  I zoo'ed my application together
on my PC, and kermit'ed it to the Unix machine at work.  There I ran uuencode
on the zoo file which generated about a 133k uuencoded ASCII file.  From there
I email'ed the ASCII file to ibmbin@crdgw1.crd.ge.com as supplied by Bill
Davidsen.

I haven't seen anything show up on c.b.i.p. after about 3 weeks which brings 
up another question.  What is the typical lag time from when an application is 
posted to c.b.i.p until it shows up on the net?  I realize that Bill does this
as a "hobby" and it may take awhile. (None of these comments are intended to be
a flame at Bill).

Is the 133k file too large to email?  If so, what utility do I use to split it?
Or can I just edit it myself into two smaller files?  For that matter I'm not
sure that plain uuencode is the right utility to use in the first place.  My
site (which run BSD 4.3) also has uusend in addition to other uu-type utilities.

Any help from experienced c.b.i.p'ers would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
