When I downloaded this part, I can see that Lugnet's DAT download truncated
the lines to 80 characters.  This totally mangled the part.  Is this a
weakness of the Lugnet interface, or is it enforcing a standard?

It's a weakness of the posting method (the file came in via email).  I
believe the line-wrapping was performed by Willy's email software.

I recommend that all DAT content be posted via LUGNET's web interface,
to avoid this line-wrapping issue.  If using the web interface is not an
option, be sure to change your email/newsreader's line-length setting to
something ridiculously long.

Sorry for the mess, I'll fix my settings before I post my next part.
