------- Additional Comments From nick@torchbox.com  2007-08-15 04:57 -------
Could you try the following:
* Add a comment using POI of ~4000 characters
* Take a copy of that file, and load it in Excel
* Edit the comment in Excel, so that it's >4112 characters long
* Compare the two files (hssf.dev and poifs.dev), and spot how excel has saved
the large comment

Once we know how Excel manages to generate larger comments, we can figure out
the best way forward for POI to do the same
