The original design (13 months ago) only allowed notes to be 20 lines long and the newsinput program made the extra lines into followup notes. A few months ago, Ray said it would be very hard to change this limitation because all the notesfile databases would have to change. I guess, either way, it is not going to be easy. Maybe in the next notes release the pointers can be increased to 32 bits and we can stop worrying about this problem. Malcolm
