Thanks Miguel.

Yes, very good points. See my suggestions inline.

I think one way to do this is to truncate the code to the point that it
fits and subtract an additional 3 characters and put the word "END".  The
computer should figure out that is all that is available and make it work
with whatever it has got. Of course, that is not i18n compatible so maybe
we need a resource string instead?

This could help towards the code reduction! Nice thinking!
