  33.  
  34.    Perhaps if you tell me this a few more times, I might
  35. remember it.  (But, if experience is any guide, probably not.)
  36.  
  37.    I did try an FTP GET of a 5GB file on my most current VMS
  38. VAX system, and as you had suggested, the file transfer was
  39. successful, but the progress reporting was pretty miserable.
  40. For example:

  82.  
  83.    I'll try to re-investigate and see what I can do.  Ideally
  84. before summer, when running the old VAX becomes (more)
  85. unpleasant.
