I've been trying to get the pbmplus utilities off of abcfd20, but the
thing is over 900K!!!  THIS DOES NOT FIT ON AN 800/720K DISKETTE!!!

I tried to to uuencode it and break it across 2 disks, but UUJoin kept
choking on every option on it (saying "Premature EOF in file"), and I
don't have basic anymore to use uudecode.bas.

Can *SOMEBODY* break up pbmplus so that it could fit on 2 diskettes,
and re-submit it to abcfd20.  It would be IMPOSSIBLE to download it
at 2400 baud, especially at toll call rates.

I'm not really trying to flame anybody (especially Tad Guy!!!), but for
people who put stuff on archive sites, please have consideration for
people who use diskettes as their means of file transportation.  It
makes things a lot easier!


Thanks in advance.
