It seems that everywhere I go these days, QLF is the talk of the town.

The most recent betas let you set the # of F fields, so that is now something
you can do without much problem I think.  In the worst case, you may need to
"expose" the F10.... in the feature type properties.

The 20 character limit is completely ignored by the writer.  So you can
ignore that too.  Really it should just say that the type of those attributes
is "buffer" or something that conveys that its really typeless.

Having said all that, I have a dream of a rewritten QLF writer that is
drastically faster.  And why not a faster QLF reader while we're at it. (And
QLF Reader that can be used in a custom format -- I embarrassingly found out
live in front of thankfully forgiving group that the existing reader doesn't
play by the rules and as such can't be used in a custom format...).  Perhaps
one day my dreams will come true...
