RE: line length limit of NMTRAN and initial value limit of NONMEM

From the docs: Continuation lines If blanks occur in positions 1-5 following the initial " and a non-blank in position 6, this conforms to the usual FORTRAN syn- tax for continuation lines, and the text is not moved from these positions. Example: " X +D/E This may however impact readability of your code ;-). I'd rather use the 'dummy' approach. When your initial values are that small you might want to consider using a different scale (via Sx) or transform your parameter of interest to a 'p' notation such as x=10**(-THETA(1)) *EXP(ETA(1)).
