Re: [Networker] Maximum Size on global directives?

Andy Williams <Andy.Williams AT patent.gov DOT uk> had this to say,

Yes.  It must be <1024 characters long.  <sigh>  We ran into this about
two months ago.

Same here, but there is no recourse.  However, I was able to pare down
the global directives a bit by tossing out the ones that weren't
relevant to our needs.  YMMV.  For some servers with major, but
consistant needs, we are using local directives.
