Hello Andrew,

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
