Does not seem to make any difference.  For some reason (unknown to me) it does
not seem to be symmetrical.  For example:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/kbkb.nbb.emd
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/kbkb.nbw.emd
or:
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/kpkp.nbb.emd
ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/kpkp.nbw.emd

Strangly (to me at least because I don't understand why) they are not always
even the same size.


Same material, but two different files.
