Peter,
I fully agree with you. In ALMOST all cases my messages have right lin
lenghts. Almost all, but recently a message for Sell-3D got very long
lines (the beamsplitter ad) and I do not know how to prevent this. I
should like to know HOW because I think those long lines very annoying.

Best wishes,
Klaas
