Not literally, that I can recall. But it's a good idea. I can set up a
mail server that will send a uuencoded copy of the tarball to any mail
with a particular string on the subject line. No problem. (The ability to
do this will eventually be in elrarv1 by the way, with a lot of related
options too, like being able to make lists for forwards, auto-responses,
and mass mailings.)

I will check out the site and do the splitting, and create the tar.gz file,

Excellent guidance and I thank you. Now, I have a lot of work to do.....

(while concurrently re-writing elrav1)

We actually have very similar guidelines for building webpages. I use tables
but not frames and don't like interactive websites at all. That's what mail
is for.
