Its not damaged here, where it originated.  (That is, before it
originated again at Rutgers).  I would guess that its been through a
news system (bitnet) that wraps lines at 80 characters.

We are taking steps (that is, the place where the Australian maps
originate, before they originate here, before... is taking steps)
to make sure that no lines longer than 80 chars escape to parts
of the world that might have to suffer bitnet's lossages.
