Here I is!  Posting large binaries to the net in normal groups is very
much frowned on.  That's what the binaries groups are for.  I would
suggest that you submit it to comp.sys.binaries.ibm.pc, which is there
for just such a a purpose.  In fact, I should have suggested that much
earlier... that'll get you lots of distribution.  Or I can do that,
just say the woid.
