Now that's interesting... when this file was sent as an attachment, it set
a couple of virus-scanners, because I received some mail from mail
gateways to that effect.  Perhaps the antivirus guys are reading here and
reacting quickly? :)

One was InterScan E-Mail VirusWall, and the other was .. InterScan NT
Alert.
Same product?

Anyway, just curious.  Good for them.  I wonder if it's a general file-too-
long check.
