Um, wouldn't it be easier by far to make these extended formats an option with
the O command?  This way, the people who have the tools to do extended
computation not have to junk their post-processor because the format is now
entirely different while allowing others to pick and choose what format suits
them the best?

All in favor of O FORMAT_TWOROWS?
All in favor of O FORMAT_50%?
All in favor of O FORMAT_ALLSTATS?

Personally, I would hate to have to triple the size of the hypercard document
I'm using to read in the turns to detect/analyze/and read in different formats,
it was already a mess trying to get it to adjust for O UNDERSCORES. :)
But the results are worth it, love the labeled star map.
