Printing long strings (a few screenfuls of text) seems to work fine on
my setup (SunOS 4.0, Inform 1404, ZIP 2.0), so it seems likely that the
problem will be with your interpreter. What system are you using, which
interpreter do you use, and which version of the compiler? Can you post
a short source file which illustrates the bug so we can see if it is
repeatable?
