Bill,

my line 62-64 looks ok and I can see the length of line variations on line
64 in my installation...


62 datacol1 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc fc54fc ffffff ffffff 00fcfc 00fcfc
00fcfc fc54fc 00fcfc 0000fc aaaaaa 00fcfc
62 datacol2 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc fc54fc ffffff ffffff 00fcfc 00fcfc
00fcfc fc54fc 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc 00fcfc
63 real CD E
64 line var 0.000 0.100
