Re: Memory limits.



I can confirm the same problem (Netscape 2.0 and WIN31).
I find the problems occur at about 38-30k.

BTW - commenting out sections of code has no effect. You still
get the same crazy syntax errors like "unterminated string" etc.

My soulution was the same as yours. ie. split the code.
