Problem Description: 

	1.  A pkgmk of a module nearly the same size as the floppy disk
	could lead to a screen of messages requiring the user to
	control C out of the process and requring the user to divide
	down the files used in the package.  The work around involved
	manually changing /etc/device.tab and selecting the size of the    
	large files to be loaded by train and error.

	2.  A pkgtrans of files larger than one meg results in a media
	size error.  There was no workaround for this bug.
