>>Even though I've used pcgamess for years (not a heavy user, just from time to time), only now I realized about this 80 character per line limit for the program input. It's hardly ever mentioned in the documentation, so after many frustating errors I couldn't understand, I finally figured this out... lol.

>>So I have a suggestion, since firefly has a preprocessor, maybe it could autosplit lines that are too long, or give a warning or error indicating that some line is over 80 chars, because the gamess core just gives some generic error that is not helpful.
