Just be sure to check that there is no field limit for each flag
field. It'll still error out if it's not a free format field and
restricted to n chars, regardless of whether the line length is
within limits.

It still astounds me that we have these char limits in the fields.
I've been dealing with comma delineated ascii/text files since
before Fidonet was born, and have never seen field limits until I
saw Fido! :)

Sheesh!! Talk about starting off on the wrong foot! ;)
