[Novalug] Linux System Groups Limit??

I already know that neither Linux or BSD have a limit of that SHORT.

In theory a "line Length" can be as long as the MAX file size limit for
a given operating system(version) with properly written code, since a
"line" and any requirement for a "line-ending" character every so often
are as-pecs of the programming and it's specs.

As far as some version of "awk" having some LOW line length limits, I've
ran into that also.
