Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System

I'm not on the judging panel, but I have had the experience of submitting an application.

When I did our team's submittal yesterday August 13th, a red-dashed-line box appeared around the submitter-box and a popup window appeared indicating that I had tried to submit more than 2500 characters.

Prior to that, when I checked our application with MS Word, it appeared as though we had under 2500 characters -- including spaces, periods, etc. I suspect that the submitter box checks end-of-line characters in addition to those that MS Word counts. I removed about 40-some characters and our application submitted correctly.

You could check all characters, including end-of-lines, if you have access to unix with the "wc -c" command.

Hope this helps...
