I have found that my messages do not wrap if I keep the lines to 72
characters or fewer.

Hi All

please could we agree to avoid line wrapping
when posting samples of output and data.

Line wrap makes interpretation difficult, so
a problem is less likely to be solved.

For sample data that would wrap, a comma delimited style is
an effective way of delivering data for pasting into a program.

A program (and human eye) can more easily read this
GROUP,TP,STARTDAY,ENDDAY,STARTTM,ENDTM,LTP
0,0,1,7,00:00:00,23:59:59,1
1,1,1,6,08:00:00,19:30:00,1
1,2,1,6,00:00:00,08:00:00,2
1,2,1,6,19:30:00,24:00:00,2
1,2,7,7,00:00:00,24:00:00,2
3,16,6,7,00:00:00,07:59:59,1
3,17,6,7,08:00:00,23:59:59,2

3,19,1,5,08:00:00,15:59:59,4
3,20,1,5,16:00:00,19:29:59,5
3,21,1,5,19:30:00,23:59:59,6



than this

Is this in the FAQ already ?
If so, just treat this as a reminder to those who don't have the FAQ to
hand.
