Greetings,

I ahve tried various combinations. Many lines work fine, I have > 60 lines with

But, 1 long line does have problem after 512 characters. It appears that sam can only send 512
bytes to samterm.

As a workaround, could you limit your lines to 512 characters and then join them together after they have arrived
in the file?
Presumably it should be possible to change this limit if it is a problem...


Best Wishes, Bengt
