Taking a step to move any new development to all free format.

I created a new source file QSRC200 with a length of (you guessed it) 200,
meaning it's actually 188 wide (in characters).

Any particular reason i made it 200, not really.

Any suggestions regarding name or length, pro or con on this is
welcome...?


Code with lines as long as 188 might be difficult to maintain. I find that 120 is about as long as I can handle easily without having to roll my eyes side to side too much.

Here's an interesting discussion about line length for source code.
