If all else fails, and assuming that your mathematician friend is using a Unix-y system, you could use the old shar/unshar programs. Shar divides the big file(s) into lots of little ones, suitable for email. Unshar takes the recieved sharchive files and splices them back together again. (Shades of Usenet!) This really is a last resort, though. It's tedious, and given that you have over 2 Gig to send, there will be a lot of little files, but it can work. --Dale -- Long computations which yield zero are probably all for naught. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
