Sorry I've been away so long, but if I don't write a thesis, I don't
graduate.

It's interresting note that you mention using the unix-y 'tr' filter to
place CR and LF in the right place at the right time.  For those of us
on UNIX systems, the best way without doubt to split large files is the
following:

1) Package the world. Ideally, one should be able to pack a *large* set
of files, not like Executioner, which chokes on big things.

2) upload to big Unix machine.

3) run though 'split'

4) post

on the recieving side, use 'cat' to put it all back together again,
download and unpack.
