As for dealing with pvoc in text form, my disk is 14 gigabytes and only half
full, even though loaded with C++, VB, Java, Csound, Silence, Mathematica,
MS Office, all my pieces in mp3s, the master for one album and part of
another. I think I can handle a few megabytes. Oh, and some games, Cool Edit
Pro, and Emagic Gold. Oh, and parts of jam sessions recorded to HD in
float...
