Correction.

Not just Lord 4.07 but _any_ version of lord. Actually, any program written
in Borland Pascal or Turbo Pascal would have the same anomoly.

Strings in Pascal have a max length of 255 characters. And when you do a
readln(tf,s); (which s being defined as var s:String), it will only read the
first 255 characters of the line and then move on to the next line.
