  Given a choice (do we get to vote?), I would rather have the SIZE given.

  Not too long ago, I decided to D/L 'Sounder.zip' since I had had problems
with it in the past. I also decided it would be nice to get some test sounds.

  So, using the INDEX I had D/Led earlier and the handy-dandy script posted
awhile back (I call it 'getcica dir filelist'), I requested 'sounder.zip'
and 'sounds1.zip'. Next thing I know, an 800K file is being FTPed. I should
probably go to each dir and check sizes, but I thought this whole discussion
was about how to make life easier.

  Anyway, I think its great that you provide this service and these routines.

Just my 2 cents worth.
