+BUGS
+====
+
+A minor one: **unalf** can't correctly extract files larger than about
+15MB. This could be a problem in **alf** (though the archives look
+OK to me), or it could be a bug I introduced when porting **unalf**,
+or it could be a bug in the original **DZ.COM**. Files this large are
+a pathological case for *ALF*, anyway, since nobody ever used them on
+the Atari 8-bit.
