I don't see anyone on MVS complaining about silly line length limits
of 80 for transmitted files, which seems to be a silly problem on
silly RSCS, as was discussed ad nauseum some time ago on some other
list.
 
Let's keep the OS wars off of this list (even though I've just added
some fuel...)  The remark quoted above (and Eric's earlier MVS remark
are both uncalled for.
