Stiller and Thompson have done a very few.  But they are *huge* and
nothing that I know of is available.  I don't believe DB uses them
either.
KRPKR is about 1/2 gigabyte.  adding another piece multiplies this by
64,
so you get one large 32 gig file.  And it might have to be bigger
because
many of those are going to take more than one byte because the mates
will
be longer than the 125 or so limit imposed by 8 bit probes.  So it might
reach 64 gigs for *one* file.  :)
