A lot of news servers are going to filter this out as being too large. It almost borders on "binary in a text group" except for it being fully textual data itself. It would be like posting a large spreadsheet but in csv format. As someone who runs a news server on a shoestring budget, and doesn't accept binaries for a reason, I'm likely to find a a way to block postings of SVG files. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23
