GET does have a limitation.  But GET's limitation is 4K, which after header
stuff, usually ends up being about 3900-3990 bytes.  980 is well within
GET's limitations.  Apple Events can be limited, but in Mac OS 8.5 usually
aren't, and when they are it is around a 32K limit, which is also much more
than 980.
