Dear list members,
Please be aware that the next message coming to the list has a Word document attachment. The attachment is rather large.
It is not our practice to allow such huge messages to go to the list. We tried to find an alternative way of posting it; however, due to lack of time we did not succeed. It is important that this message reaches lir-wg before the RIPE meeting.
The message is from Adrian Pauling, and the subject is "IP Adddressing & GPRS Mobile Technology deployment".
Apologies once more for not being able to approve it to the list in any other way.
You may want to take a look at Adri van Os's "antiword" program (for Unix, RISC OS & BeOS) to convert Microsoft Word documents into somewhat more reasonable formats (text and Postscript) (see http://www.winfield.demon.nl/ for details). In this case it reduced the 600+ kbyte encoded attachment (461,312 byte Word document) to an 8,040 byte text file: 461312 May 15 13:48 Working_Party_Briefing_paper_GPRS_addressing.doc 8040 May 15 13:48 Working_Party_Briefing_paper_GPRS_addressing.txt I could really do without the extra, unnecessary ~600 kbytes in my mailbox...
