There are diminishing returns on providing multiple formats--each extra
configuration takes more time.  There have already been posting about
having the library in two files.  This new update is posted in four
different files on ldraw.org already (complete.exe, complete.zip,
lcad0002.exe, and lcad0002.zip).

Also, 720K is not a particularly large download file -- but it is a largish
email file.  As email is not the desired way to distribute the LCAD
library, I don't see that it's worth the time to present it in a
configuration that is intended to serve email distribution.
