- No not quite right, that is the workspace size, you can maxlen strings to
- any size you want, however if you are going to manipulate them I suppose
- yes your workspace should be set to as big as the biggest string +
- biggest string you will be using.
- I think the bank lib should be expanded for handling largfe files etc,
- does anyone know the basics of virtual memory, we could then open a bank
- and allocate the file to it and then you could manipulate it with the
- string commands but never have to worry about running out of memory,
- Would this be of use to people?
