Max size of linked lists

Does Delphi have a max size on linked lists ???
I know that arrays can only be around 64K, is there a similar limit for
linked lists.
The linked list that I want to create will be aout 5MB long.

Any ideas will be welcomed.

Re:Max size of linked lists


If it is atrue linked list, then you should have problem, if all elements
are less than 64 k long - BTW this 64k limit applies to Delphi 1 only
