Hi Andy,

You replied to my message to Peter French about his long lines...

I'm happy to learn that.

Not in my software. I explained how I checked that *without* using my
off-line reader, nor any software that splits lines.

Would it be that Terminate 5.00 unsplits already splitted lines?

The other explanation is that you receive truly unsplitted lines,
but they are splitted somewhere on the way down to me. 

As my sysop is going to change many things, and wants me (like all of
his single users...) to become a "point", maybe this annoying
"feature" will vanish. At least, I hope so.
