Updates, notes and comment
1 May 2007: In a section demonstrating PRONOM-ROAR, Tim Brody says (11:21 mins) of one example, the Preserv profile for Texas A&M University repository, that most records do not have any files associated with them. In fact, this category consists of 'oversized' files (larger than 2MB) that the prototype service did not download, to minimize bandwidth usage
