Glad you like the program.

The complete set of 3, 4, and 5 man files in de Koning format is about 5.6 GB
(which, IIRC, is about 1.5 GB smaller than the Nalimov format -- my memory might
be failing me, though).

The program will be shipping with a generator, so that users can complete any
sets that do not come with the program. Additionally, we MIGHT allow these files
to be available via download -- not sure yet. However, we hope that some kind
soul (probably Dann Corbit) will generate them all and make them available on
his FTP site.
