Gyle, 64KB? ROTFLMAO! The first Microdata machine I worked on had 16KB, and ran a medical billing service bureau. It had 1 50MB disk drive and ran as slow as molasses. I ran into the same machine many years later in a tech college museum. I verified the serial number to be sure. Ouch, the bones are feeling old today. ;^) Regards, Charlie Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes:

There was probably some concern about memory consumption way back when MD and Pick ran with only 64KB of core. I think it was just simpler for the designers to set a low limit. It looks like the subsequent designers never anticipated adding more dimensions, rather they focused on backward compatibility (which in this case has multiple interpretations).
