I found a copy of an earlier version of it on a system
I used to work on, and it had the info I was looking
for at the time I noticed I no longer had it.

I'd still like my latest version, if anyone has it [1].

Here's what I was looking for.  Others my be interesed
in this (remembering it was determined on some unknown
release of 4.8 and may not relate to other versions).

In the "Sizes" Section it had this note:

  Processing Tables:  120 characters per "If" or "Then" line (dclerk
                      will process tables composed with text editors
                      where the total number of characters in any
                      set of "If"-"Then" lines doesn't exceed 298
                      characters. The [dr]cabe editors can't be used
                      on tables where any "Then" lines contain more
                      than 127 characters and will shorten to 120
                      any lines longer than that appearing in the
                      editor's window.  "If" lines of up to 177
                      characters are tolerated when associated with
                      127 character "Then" lines).

Note that when I said "tolerated" I didn't say they worked;
I meant only that filePro didn't bitch about them.
