uummmmmmmmpffff....

y're right. my last experiments nearly filled my new 2Gig HD.
and the source was down in my local-dir.
damned, someone there who spend me a 9Gig HD ? :-)

But anyway, do you see a chance to build books without this
amount of hd-room?
Because i plan after the newwall.pgn (projectname rock:) )
the 1Gig pgn, (projectname mountain).

no no no, don't kill me.
Just kidding. But the rock will come.


Cheerio
