Message-ID: <449@timeinc.UUCP> Date: Wed, 21-Aug-85 13:07:20 EDT Article-I.D.: timeinc.449 Posted: Wed Aug 21 13:07:20 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 24-Aug-85 13:25:01 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Time Inc. (Edit Tech), New York Lines: 22 One of the sites that we feed has recently given us a VERY lengthy exclusion list for our sys file. Before I break something, could one of you news.gurus let me know if there is a limit as to how long (in bytes, or in newgroup count) a sys entry is allowed to be? (The list is long enough to cause vi to barf on a 'Line too Long' error message). Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross M.
