+       * data-out.c, data-in.c, variable.c, variable.h: New functions 
+       copy_mangle and copy_demangle for reading/writing cases; emulates the 
+       way SPSS deals with strings > 255 bytes.
+
+       * sys-file-reader.c sys-file-writer.c: Added support for Record 7, 
+       subtype 14 needed for strings longer than 255 bytes.
+
+       * dictionary.c, format.def, value.c : Updated to use MAX_STRING 
+        instead of literal values. Also fixed some constness issues.
+
+       * format.h: Constness
+
+       * sfm-private.h: Renamed the case_size identifier, since I discovered 
+        that SPSS's respect for this variable is very nominal.
