A demo version that can be posted in one or two parts is ok, but I think
that a 10 part binhex file of a demo is too much. I'd also like to see
someone write a binary resource DIFF program so that programs like
Disinfectant could be upgraded more easily. The probability that one
part of a 10 part posting is missing too great to be ignored.

Another way to avoid really large multipart postings that become
useless because of one transmission error is to start sending smaller
stuffit archives. Instead of archiving all the files into a single
binhex file, I'd like to see the main application in one file,
the manuals in another and the demo files in yet another.
