Yes. In case of the editor it's 64 Mb. The viewer is limited by the size of the file that can be mapped to memory using mmap, so it's in gigabyte range. > I just tried to view a 2.8 Gb file and mc blew up.

The editor loads the whole file in memory. If you want to edit that 2.8 Gb file you probably should use another editor. I wrote the same thing yesterday to this list. It's becoming a frequently asked question. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
