Hello Kees,

Apparently we do need lines longer than 157 bytes, as accidents have happened
when segments with longer lines were submitted in the past. They crashed the
old makenl and complete regions and even an entire zone disappeared.

This is not the place to discuss the desirability of "vanity" in the nodelist.
That is no concern of the Makenl_Ng crew. Here we should discuss the technical
issues with regard to makenl. FTSC complience is a technical issue.

What is actually allowed in the nodelist is for the nodelist clercks to decide.


Cheers, Michiel
