What is the maximum echo tag length that HPT can handle?
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.

Depends what you mean with "official". There is FSC-0074:
CONFERENCE is the name of the conference. The
conference name is composed of ASCII characters in
the range 33 to 96 and 123 to 126. The conference
name shall be no more than 60 characters in length.
I assume this maximum length was chosen because of the standard 80
character width of the terminal. I don't interpret it as a hard limit,
but I don't see the need for longer names (not sure if there are
newsgroups that have longer names)

I don't know of any standard for the length of an areatag. The data I gave above was taken from the HPT code since the question was about HPT.

The maximum echotag lenght in GEcho is 50. As well as in Fastecho. So
I don't know of any standard for the length of an areatag. The
data I gave above was taken from the HPT code since the question
was about HPT.
that has been some de facto standard back then.

Thanks Michael.
Could a provision be made to optionally extend this length further if someone using HPT wanted to run longer tag lengths?

I don't think this is a good idea, because if some sysops increase the maximum areatag length for some echo while others do not, the latter
will not be able to receive the echo.
