It's not clear, > having RTFA'd. It sounds like the 80-char limit is Solaris, and the > 100-char limit is traditional? The 80 is a misreading of that Haskell message. There is only a 100 char limit. (The message just explains that the shortest name remaining is 80, which is less than 100.) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
