does this mean 75 characters after the required "DESC " on each line making 80 
characters per line max?

here, when you say "any length" are you meaning "any number of lines"?

and lastly, i'm confused about a few things regarding the .ECO files:
 1. your system cannot process netmails for entry updates?
 2. does the filename and extension /have/ to be UPPERCASE?
 3. do the ECO files have to be attached to a message or just the raw
    file dropped in your inbound?
 4. if we send ECO files, there /must/ be a SUBJ line in them?
 4a. with only valid values of MOD-ADD, MOD-UPD, MOD-DEL, or HELP?
 4b. when your system starts processing netmails, will that SUBJ
     line cause problems if it is in the netmail update/addition?

i'm looking for clarification on all of the above before i dump a load of ~40 
updates on you... i don't want to post them as netmails and cause you to have 
to manually export, edit, and submit them to your processor...
