You might try adding "by .001" to change the increment of the added line
numbers to something small, then renumber the file to make them more
managable.

Actually, I just tried gathering (g <filename> to last) 1281 lines of
Fortran source code to a file and it worked fine.  ??

This is the version of Quad I am running.

Hope this helps.
