Yes, that's true, but the result is the same.

Yes, the PDF I converted lost some of the text past that 78th column
too. IIRC, there is a setting in one of the OPTIONS pages to specify
the column width for the print feature. The default is 78 columns and
maybe resetting it to a much wider (132?) setting would prevent that.
I will try that before sending this and ad a PS with the results.

PS: Resetting the column width to a larger value (255 is the max, which
I used) recaptured the lost text. As an aside, I wish the PDF2TXT
conversion program would print something on the screen to indicate that
it is working as the first time I used it, I thought my machine had
locked up and I was about to reboot when it finally finished.
Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.
