I've just noticed a problem with JOVE 4.14 (MS-DOS version).

I was looking at some ASCII data files, and noticed to my dismay
that they seemed to contain some blank lines, with a record missing
at each blank line. However, using another program to view the same
files, I was relieved to find that there were in reality no blank
lines at all, and all the data were there.

It seems to occur on or around line numbers which are a multiple of
826 (I noticed 826 and 1653, but also 216 at one point), and is
something of a problem. I didn't try saving the files to see if they
would be saved with a missing line, but it's disconcerting not to be
able to see all of your file on the screen, even if it doesn't
actually get lost.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior, and (even better) is there a
fix for it?
