gert, then we have twice the drive space and bandwidth consumed... please 
choose one format or the other [sigh]

they are easier to get out but you cannot recover the FILE_ID.DIZ from them 
very easily... especially not with FDN processing software... so you end up 
with crappy truncated descriptions for the parts :/

i much prefer the single file format instead of the following mess... the 
descriptions are shite on *4* of the 6 parts of the multi-part archive :(
