aww, crap... i was hoping that wouldn't be the case... is there any way to get around the 2048 character system limit?? Perhaps use a seperate file or two (or three or four or five! ) that contain only names??

Yep, that's why I didn't offer my own ini file as a download. I did not want anyone to lose their personal data on my behalf...
