What is the maximum echo tag length that HPT can handle?
Sorry for the long delay, could not answer earlier.
An echo tag cannot be longer than 60 bytes.
Thanks so 60 characters including spaces - is that right?
No, 60 or less ASCII characters with decimal code >=33 and <=126. So tab, space, carriage return and new line are not allowed.
I wonder what official maximum length of an area/echo tag (a.k.a. conference id) actually is.
From echobase.hlp:
Tagname (TAG) - The echo's areatag. May be up to 35
characters in length.
Title (TITL) - A short description title that briefly
describes the echo. This may be 55
characters in length.
If anyone has a more official reference, I'd be curious to read it. Thanks,
