I still haven't installed it (yet).

No, it already supported Tiny and Large, etc. The only new one is Huge. So it's some other reason (generics? Win16? uncompressed?). Actually, I assume the installer is using compression, but maybe not?

EDIT: Off-topic: (joking) FPC took so long to have a new release that Vandenberg came out of retirement! (First new album in 35 years came out last month. Okay, so mostly new lineup: new singer, etc. Luckily, Slacker Radio [LiveXLive] has it.)
