[foxboro] AW: HLBL font size.

You're perfectly right. The font size could probably=20
be changed in the detail display template in=20
/usr/fox/dd..., but it would not result in longer text=20
because the compiler cuts all text behind the last=20
character which can be displayed in the existing=20
display. The .r file is an binary file with ASCII text,=20
but no linefeeds and nullbytes padded lines, so=20
that all lines are of equal length.

Using the .s source file for display purposes is=20
no help, because there are no statement numbers=20
and therefor you can't jump to a certain spot in=20
execution and you can not allocate problems=20
and errors.

The most practical solution might be to take=20
care of the length limitation during programming.

Example:

Don't write the whole statement in a line like this (maybe wrapped in =
you
mailer program):

:COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME1.PARM :=3D :COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME2.PARM /
:COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME3.PARM;

write it instead like this:

:COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME1.PARM :=3D=20
   :COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME2.PARM /=20
   :COMPOUND_NAM:BLOCK_NAME3.PARM;

it still is one statement, but it is completely=20
readable in the operator display.
