Re: class name lengths

[Ronald F Boisvert <boisvert@nist.gov>]

Peter,

Thanks for pointing out this problem, of which I was unaware.
Changing classnames in JAMA would break alot of people's codes
and we would probably get more flak from that than thanks from
Mac users.  So, I don't see that happening any time soon.
We will keep your suggestion in mind as we go forward, however.

Best wishes,

Ron Boisvert
