+When using fork-based parallelization (on nearly all systems this is the default) '''''the output from the SAVE XSPEC command will be faulty'''''. The workaround is to use either MPI_based parallelization, or do a sequential run by using the SEQUENTIAL keyword on the GRID command.
+
 The inward component of the emergent line predictions was inadvertently left out, as reported on the Cloudy user group.  This is not a widely used part of the code predictions and it will be fixed in the next major release.
 
-Some of our line labels have more than four characters.  Long labels must be entered in double quotes in line lists, as in {{{"O  3c"}}}.  Four character labels may be entered with or without double quotes.
+Some of our line labels have more than four characters.  Long labels must be entered in double quotes in line lists, as in {{{"O  3c"}}}.  Four character (or shorter) labels may be entered with or without double quotes.  Also note that the wavelength must ''always'' start in column 5 or later, even for diatomic molecules such as H2 or CO. In c17.01, Hazy 1 will have a new section explaining the format in detail.
 
-The Bowen O I spectrum is not predicted.  Previous versions had line labels of 6lev, which reported entire multiplets.  In 17.01 we will report the multiplet as a Blnd but the Ly-beta pump is not included.

-The {{{save line list}}} command will read a list of lines from an external file and report their intensities.  Often the line label and wavelength are copy / pasted from the !LineLabels.txt file in 
-the docs directory of the download.  A problem will occur if you copy the entire line, including quoted line labels towards the end of the line.  For instance, the following line entry
