Fixed an ABEND when a structure has more than 128 members (blush).

It has been reported that the length specified in the structure
is ignored when used to specify the output placement.  I shall look into
that, but for now be warned.

Be sure to understand that for SPEC, the only supported field types are
C, D, F.  All others are treated like C.  Sure, STRUCT ADD will allow
anything; it is up the the stage to interpret it.  Currently the type
is ignored by all but SPEC (and I don't expect that to change).  Do
not be tempted to think that you can make LOCATE find binary stuff.

I might add support for P as packed data, in which case anything you
make that has P as the type will break.  I'm also considering issuing
an error message or at least a nuisance message for such things.

I replaced the NXPIPE MODULE and also created a NXPIPE VMARC, which
should be downloadable with wget or similar, in particular not
depend on the FTP server working.

And finally a private message for Alan:  If you want the ABEND fixed
or diagnosed, you'll have to send me the SPEC stage that breaks and
also some test data that break it.  Please put the stuff into a
VM archive and send to jphartmann at gmail dot com.

Blushing,

   j.
