Steve,
Thank you, I was beginning to wonder if I was having a synapse failure.
As I said it was in an obscure spot in the manual. That was the location, now
that you found it again all my synapses are going "that's right, that's where
it was located." Not anywhere near anything to do with libraries which is where
I found the reference this morning that suggested 255 characters was the limit.
As I said though, through my own trial and err, I found 14 characters
to work fine. I believe I started testing the 14 because I had real troubles
reducing the names on my problem parts to anything less (I wasn't able to keep
variations similarly but uniquely named from their peers) and the problem
disappeared when I reduced it to 14 characters.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander,
PCB Designer.

I too remembered that the limit was 12 characters and after looking in the
manual I found the following under "Protel Netlist Formats" on page 172:
If the netlist is going to be loaded into the PCB Editor, designators and
package descriptions (footprint) are limited to 12 alphanumeric characters.
