   * An ongoing debate between mark lewis and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
    ml { PASCAL_LESSONS will break it... in fact, any echo with more than eight   
    ml { characters in the tag will break... it will be worse if there are two   
      
   It knows how to handle long names, only using the 1st 8 characters. Dupes are   
   a    
   problem, but I'm looking into that & will keep you posted.   
      
    ml { implementation, too... the name that the ruletext is stored in should   
    ml { be taken from the RULE line in the MOD UPD instead of the other way   
    ml { around... that way an eight character filename can be given to the RUL   
    ml { file by the moderator...   
      
   Not gonna happen {chuckle} too problematic :)   
      
    ml { but i might have missed something, again...   
      
   The software was tested with various TAG names (some long, some short) and it    
   worked fine in all cases. The dupe problem can be fixed using LFNs, I just   
   need    
   to upgrade the parser. :)
