+// GetLongest(), which calculates the number of characters in a string that can fit
+//  within a width, had two subtle changes which started to appear in interpreters
+//  in late 1990. An off-by-one bug was fixed where the character that exceeds the
+//  width would be applied to the result if a space character hadn't been reached.
+//  The pixel width test was also changed from a greater than or equals to greater
+//  than, but again only if a space character hadn't been reached.
+//
+// The notebook in LB1 (bug #10000) is currently the only known script that depended
+//  on the original behavior. This appears to be an isolated fix to an interpreter
+//  edge case, a corresponding script change to allow autodetection hasn't been found.
+//
+// The Japanese interpreters have their own versions of GetLongest() to support
+//  double byte characters which seems to be how QFG1 Japanese reintroduced it
+//  even though its interpreter is later than SQ3/LSL3 multilingual versions.
