- What gives here? This program will receive large binhex files and decode
- them, but a large (> 50k?) text file causes it to stop with a message that
- the file was too large, after asking me for a storage location on disk after
- reaching the ~32k limit. Why is there a limit on the length of a text file,
- other than my disk space? This severely reduces the utility of this otherwise
- fine program!
