Greenberg) Distribution: net Organization: Time Inc. (Edit Tech), New York Lines: 26 Summary: (For reasons too obscure and embarrassing to mention, the following article may not have gotten out. If it has, please excuse the repost!) 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.
