Re: MI Max number of lines of code in MB?

Hello Richard,

I believe the text control used in the MapBasic editor will have a Windows legacy 64k 
limit. Some 
L'ers mentioned not so long ago that they used external editors to crate much bigger 
files. 
However, I would challenge whether this is good development practice. If you work in a 
professional environment with a version control system, putting everything into one 
gargantuan 
file is not too clever.

Back in the days of v3 and v4 of Pro, there were some nasty problems with MapBasic 
incorrectly 
compiling and linking with large files. Although these may all be cleared up now, I 
would say 
keeping source files down to a reasonable level is the sensible option.
