The change is to separate the leader from the textof regular messages, and then to send them as consecutive messagesinstead of one packed message.  The text would then start on a wordboundary no matter what the word lengths of the machines involved.  Theprocess would take place on both IMP-to-Host and Host-to-IMP messages.    We can see no disadvantages to this scheme, and a sampling of Hostreactions range from neutral to wildly enthusiastic.  Therefore, wetentatively plan to implement this change.  We recognize that thischange will involve Host program changes, and that the new release mustbe scheduled to coincide with those changes.  We propose providingmodified Host spec text along with a one week notice of the new release.    If anyone sees a flaw in this scheme, or is unhappy about it, pleasecontact BBN quickly, since a new version of the IMP program is alreadyin the works.
