[Mesa-users] Having difficulty with RLOF (due to MB) initial starting age in LMXB

[Sanskar]

Hi frank,

Thank you for the clarification -- I wasn’t aware of the practical size
limits and appreciate you pointing this out. I understand the issue now and
will make sure to keep attachments within limits or share files via a link
in the future.

Please let me know if you would like me to resend the material in a more
suitable format.

Best regards,
Sanskar
