      Hello Andrew,              On Tuesday February 11 2014 20:43, you wrote to Ward Dossche:               WD>> Will makenl barf if "long record lines" would be used for        WD>> nodelist segments?               AL> The code should handle nodelist lines up to 512 bytes in length.              And gracefully handle longer lines I presume? (Instead of crashing like the       old MakeNl)              [ FTSC bureaucrat mode on ]              From FTS-5000.004:               For compatibility with certain broken segment processors, nodelist        maintainers must limit all lines to at most 157 characters (plus        terminator). It is very likely this limitation will be removed in        the future, therefore future software implementations should be able        to process lines of up to 1024 characters, and individual fields of        up to 255 characters (unless otherwise specified).              [ off ]              It is no big deal of course, I do not expect to see lines >512 bytes in the       nodelist any time soon. But as you are an FTSC member, you might consider       upping the max line length next time you fire up the compiler...              Just a suggestion.              Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MINGW 1.1.5-b20110320        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555.6)    |
