It should not be a problem for the computers to limit the line lenghts. 
Almost 20 years ago I wrote a 'glass teletype' program  that would let you 
type on the computer keyboard.  I set it to look for a space between words 
after 65 or 68 characters (don't remember which) and after that space it 
would do an end of line sequence of CR,CR,LF,LTRS.  If it did not see a 
space after that, it would force a end of line sequence at 72 charcters. 
All this was done at the computer machine language level.  It should only 
take a few more lines of code to add the hyphen.

I have a Modle 19 and it is irriatating when the  computers do not send the 
EOL sequence and all I get is a black box at the end of the line.
The computer program does not have this problem.
