The MapBasic _editor_ has a file size limit at 64 Kbyte. You can evade this
limitation by using another text-editor (ex ultraedit , www.ultraedit.com -
a _very_ good shareware text editor, including MapBasic Syntax
highligtning) and use the commandline from MapBasic
Copy'ed from MapBasic Help
"If you use a text editor other than MapBasic to edit your programs, you may
find it awkward switching to MapBasic whenever you want to compile or link.
However, there is a way to automate the process: if you can configure your
text editor so that it issues a command string, then you can compile and
link without leaving your editor.
You can start the MapBasic development environment by executing the command
line:
mapbasic
If the command line also includes the parameter -D followed by one or more
program names, MapBasic automatically compiles the programs. For example,
the following command line launches MapBasic and compiles two program files
(Main and Sub1):
mapbasic -D main.mb sub1.mb
If the command line includes the parameter -L followed by one or more
project file names, MapBasic links the projects. For example, the following
command line links the TextBox application:
mapbasic -L textbox.mbp
The command line can include both the -D and the -L parameters, as shown
below:
mapbasic -D textbox.mb -L textbox.mbp
If you launch MapBasic with a command line that includes -D or -L, MapBasic
shuts down after compiling or linking the appropriate files. "
