- Isn't it about time to split into smaller parts the INDEX file on Aminet?
- The problem is not one of transfer time, since the administrators have kindly
- provided a compressed version, but one of manageability after dowloading the
- file. I'm sure that a 1.5Meg file is quite a handful for the A4000 user let
- alone the A600 user. I'm using 'vi' on a Sparc station to scan
- thru' the INDEX file and it takes a few seconds before the file even appears
- on the screen.
