Will makenl barf if "long record lines" would be used for
nodelist segments?
The code should handle nodelist lines up to 512 bytes in length.
But do we need longer lines to list technical facillities, or just so
we can boast all our hats and feathers.

The technical requirement is born out of documenting the the
processes in Fidonet.
One of wich is showing off vanity in the nodelist.
Indeed and they may have more to worry about.
Just for the record:
The limit for a nodelist line in the Ifmail package is 256.
in Golded package, I have found it to be 512.
For MBSEbbs the nodelist line lenght is set to 1024.
These packages are however still maintained, so ugrades can
be made available any time.
MvdV>> So let THEM worry about it.Indeed and they may have more to worry about.
Dn't worry, they probably do.

be made available any time.
No, it is just a start of an inventory, of were changes are needed and where there a limitations, as the software cannot be modified. This is
not aimed at Makenl, but at the use of longer lines in the nodelist.
It is wonderfull if all levels can produce a nodelist with long lines,
but if it fails on crucial systems on the net,
where is the gain?
157 bytes has been demonstated to be too short.
