I am sure that it is not the authors fault.  Long lines have a
tendency to get wrapped in various ways.
I remember I always had a real hard time with Tom Burger's parts -
somehow, his system and mine always seemed to conflict.  Just about
every part he would send me would get mangled.  And since his piece
code looked virtually the same as anyone else's, I just assumed that
something between he and I was screwing it up.

I'm probably as big an offender as anyone.  Something part-authors
should do (besides running their files through LDLite -G and L3P before
submitting them) is to either turn off line-wrapping in their e-mail
program when sending Terry parts, or send the part-file as a MIME
attachment.
