RE: Anyone want to code a useful utility and get some EuBucks?

I didn't realize that long sequences are truncated until Bernie 
mentioned it. I normally don't use long sequences.

By strange coincidence, on this project, I do use them, and yep, they 
are truncated. I had planned to use ex.err as a debugging tool, but it's 
pretty useless now.

Anyone up for coding a debug include file that will write a list of 
variables and sequences to an eds database?
