Re:64k file size limit, override

Ketil,

You can't if you're running under Win95; it's a limitation of the
operating system (parts are still 16-bit, and 64K was a segment
limit in 16-bit Windows). This limit doesn't exist under WinNT,
though, because the Edit control under NT is 32-bit.

You might try switching to a TRichEdit; it doesn't suffer from this
limitation under Win95 or NT.

The official limit is 32k and it is built right into the operating
system (Windows 95, Windows 3.1).

Of course you could try Orpheus by Turbopower. They advertise a 16MB text
editor as one of their features, as well as validated fields, unlimited
listboxes, full source, excellent support.

Reach them at www.turbopower.com

... and it works, exactly as they advertise.

... and they support it, exactly as advertised.

... and if I had to buy it again, as I do from time to time, I would.

Turbopower's software is not for the faint of heart or the uninitiated,
but if you have a firm grasp of what it is trying to do and how it is
trying to do it, you won't find a bug in it.
