The max size of a record is 64k, but you also have a limited
amount of dynamic memory. To "protect" the viewer from the
very nasty problems you will run into when the Palm runs out
of memory, I added a limit of 60000 bytes for images.
To be able to display images larger than 64k it is necessary
to make some major changes to the parser (it must be able to
split a large image into several parts and also create an index
file telling the viewer about the different records used to
"build" the complete image) and also some changes to the
viewer to make it possible to display these "splitted" images.
Anyway, until support for splitting large images into several
parts (and indicate how they are connected) is added to the
parser I will not spend any time on "preparing" the viewer for
it...
