Re: max array size

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

Cameron,

I assume that you're working on a NON-Windows platform.

For Windows, see BULLETIN.TXT (T-00007) which should be
in the "readme" directory of the SQR distribution.  The basic
idea is that on 16-bit systems, each char field takes 6 bytes
per row, and each number takes 8 bytes per row, so under
Windows, I think you're limited to about 1092 char rows
or 819 number rows.

For Unix, I think the limitation is on the amount of virtual
memory your operating system can allocate for a process.
I believe that this is depends on the site-specific unix
parameters.

Hope this helps.
