Long sentences

[Melissa Nelson]

I am editing and formatting an SVD (Software Version Description) done by one of our developers...there a lot of looonnnggg sentences in it...some I have chopped up. I felt like a real slasher on one sentence that was a few words over nine lines...I got dizzy reading it :-)
