It is. And, yep, it's all a matter of cost and in my case, I can't
have the added cost of intermediate file I/O: the message numbers/size
(I/O) are simply too large. (yeah yeah, 'buy bigger hardware then'.
That would mean some serious investment too; not only hardware, but
location, etc. So the choice is a little more s/w effort -- in my
case.)
