Limit in ASCII input with read

[Stegert]

Dear GrADSusers,

I tried to read in an ASCII data set (m by n matrix
corresponding to my model area defined in the .ctl)
and found, that GrADS only read the first 576 letters
(if I counted right) and cut the rest.
When reducing the length of the lines, all went well.

Can anyone related to the development of GrADS confirm
this limitation? And, is it possible to overcome this
limit in future GrADS releases?
I'm actually using GrADS 1.8SL11 on WinXP.

Cheers, Christoph
