The data transfer process discussion for the new iPhone app
has me confused, so until things stabilize, I've not installed
the new version from the App Store (how long can I run the
old test-flight beta ?). :-)
Anyway, I wanted to use the iTunes method to move a library
of model stellar atmospheres to the iPhone. Uncompressed, each
is 1.38 Mb, and I tried moving all 96 in one .tar.gz file --
that's 132 Mb. The tar 'xz'; command gave me an out of memory
error. I tried a smaller bunch, 11 models (15 Mb) and that
went OK. I just wonder what the size limit for the iPhone "tar"
is? Rather than finding out by trial & error.
This is on an iPhone 4S 64GB.
J on this phone is pretty amazing. It runs fairly complex
computations at about 1/4 the speed of my MacBook Pro, which
for most programs, that run in seconds, is an insignificant
difference. Thanks for this wonderful port -- I just hope the
Apple app-police don't force crippling restrictions on it.
