It's a shame if your newsgroup util doesn't have enough sense to build more 
than one PKT, but I don't think the PKT size will matter to Squish as long as 
you have the disk space for the PKT and MSG versions of the data.

What =will= matter is the size of the individual messages, as they will get 
stored in RAM after they are extracted from the PKTs but before they are 
inserted into the messagebase.  That will depend on your "Buffers" statement in 
the config:

The defaults for the 32-bit versions of Squish (SQ386 and
SQ386P) are:

BUFFERS   writebuf       outbuf         msgbuf
Small     64k            64k            64k
Medium    76k            128k           128k
Large     128k           512k           256k

You can also assign your own specific values for each buffer if you don't like 
the Small/Medium/Large shortcuts.
