Large buffers are inconvenient for various reasons. We may want to increase the large file warning threshold, since machines in general are now both faster and larger than they were. However, I don't think it should vary depending on the machine you are using. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
