Comments
EVALUATION There is a limitation on the amount of text a Win95 edit window can hold. Microsoft has set this limit at 32K, minus some overhead. Attempts to load more than 32K into a text area can produce strange behavior, although it should be possible to load in up to 64K if the TextArea is in read-only mode. Reports vary between users on the exact amount of text that can be displayed. I was able to display 43K on Windows 95 and over 70K on Windows NT 4.0 with no problem. A Work-around would be to use the Java-based text components supplied with Swing. eric.hawkes@eng 1998-01-23
