Since it is better to have to resubmit at this end than run your job and find it didn't work, rje(1) will complain and exit if it encounters input lines longer than 80 characters. It will also reject any input containing non-ascii characters or non-space control characters. Coming soon: a program to fold long lines; watch this space for details -- David Trueman @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!david
