Maximum string length and array size in ksh93 is only limited by available memory or address space, e.g. at least 2^31bytes for 32bit processes or >= 2^63bytes for 64bit platforms (we deliver both 32bit and 64bit versions of ksh93 in Solaris, the default will be 64bit if the machine+OS are running in 64bit mode...). ksh88 in Solaris is slightly different, AFAIK there is an array size limit of 4096 entries and string length was AFAIK limited, too (but I am not sure... maybe I am wrong...). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
