any chance you could be overflowing the stack? (remember, local
vars are put on the stack)..
the variable 'line' will take up 1000*4 bytes (assuming pointers
are 4 bytes).. thats 4K.. then at 600, you have allocated
600x14 bytes... thats 8K.. so that gives me a figure around 12K.
which is probably where you stack runs out.. :) [as a rough guess]
the code here does not state where you are running this stuff from
(local, global etc).. nor do you state what machine you are using
Palm Pro, III, IIIx or V.
try declaring the 'line' variable globally.. not locally - hence
not using the stack.
cheers.
