	I noticed this behavior in the fish archives at mrcnext etc.. (don't 
use their name, just their number). On fish 310 (?), UUCP 1.00 and Mon are on
the one disk. Why does UUCP.zoo take about 924K? Wouldn't be a little difficult
to fit it and other stuff on one disk?
	Just wondering,

P.S. Thanks a lot to the guys at mrcnext, I couldn't live without your 
      archives.
