    Good question. It depends if the Microsoft ftp client is streams-aware,
    and understands the Microsoft OLE structured storage format and will do
    the linearisation on demand or not. I must confess I haven't tested this,
    as I don't ever run Windows other than on vmware sessions for Samba testing
    these days :-).

    Probably a non-Microsoft ftp client would lose part of the word doc.
