Now here we have one of those mails i normaly ignore and delete, the
user has not set his LINE WRAP in his editor.
Anyway i belive i can help a little here which is the only reason i
am repling, otherwise the mail would have been disregarded.
The most probable cause here is the cyrix CPU clocked at a too higher
