Is the 8.5 megs after zipping? It seems that zipping Flics cuts down the size considerably. Depending on your modem, we could be talking a couple of years upload! At least CompuServe doesn't charge for upload time. There's a file, MONARC.ZIP about a meg in size, with a note that says it takes a 2400 baud modem an hour and 4 minutes. 8 megs would be 8 hours??? Alternatively, you could use the DOS command to backup onto several floppies and send it to us.
