But do you still have the first PKT, with the message that came out with
'___----------'?

Please read your quotes again.. As far as I understand, you =intentionally=
entered the example tearline (as '___----------') to show us what
incorrectly invalidated tearlines can look like.. I guess you fooled
yourself then ;-)

But you certainly have a point about programmers that can't determine
things correctly.. I had to correct my quotes because my editor (GoldED)
had made it out to be '___-+--+--+--', sadly enough :-(

So long, Jaap..
