get strange errors. On the other hand, move a short field to a longer field and we also get errors when we throw garbage into our data.
I think you're missing the point. The second field being shorter is exactly the case when MVC2/MVC:2 is needed to avoid garbage in the output. I blank a print line, then move text (e.g., error explanation) into one or more comments fields. With the current MVC, it's all too easy to get garbage after the desired text. I've also seen horrors where all possible error texts have an explicit length, wasting more storage than needed. Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT
