   wcBASIC _is_ pretty much the core of WINServer :)  I believe to   
   change this you would need to make the necessary changes in one   
   of the modules of the wcBASIC Plus Pack.

   AFAICT, this wrapping is pretty much standard in most BBS   
   packages because of the standard length of lines in messages on   
   echomail networks.

   Possibly third party if you don't mind editing the HTML code.   
   Unless one is too lazy to highlight the text and press the Delete   
   key.

   I doubt hector will ever touch these products again -- speaking   
   from experience.  AFAIK, the business side of things just simply   
   does not rely on the sales of FTN technology products.
