JH>> Yes, we saved all of four characters ;-)

WV> This used to be important! ;-)

Also: the practise of having the host name in the protocol flag was first. It existed before the INA flag.

The INA flag was introduced to avoid having to repeat the same host name for every protocol flag. At the time repeating the host name for every protocol caused problems because of a bug in MakeNl that limited line length to 152? characters.


Cheers, Michiel
