That is more than I got when I tested it, a little over 20k.

I have never tested to see how long a line E could handle as it has always
processed what I have used it for. AE failed when I tried it where E worked.

If that is the case I will try AE again.

Are you sure that AE truncated the line at 250 bytes. That seems strange as I
would expect it to truncate at its longest possible line. It would be nice if
there was an error message indicating that a line was truncated, I know EPM
does not tell you a it just thrashed your file.
