You had better have some big drives.  the current files are about 32 gigs
compressed.  That goes to way over 100 gigs uncompressed.

I don't believe that Fritz uses the 6 piece files.  If you want to use them
with crafty, you had better have lots of memory.  It requires over 60 megs
just for the decompression indices...
