- It sure looks that way. I had the same experience with Cc 6.8 on a 425t
- running 10.3.5.4. On a brighter note, however, my 10.4 node handled
- 130 defines just fine (a0 .. z4). It probably handles more, but a full
- set of 26 more defeated it (too many args, though -- not defines).
-
- IMHO, anyone who defines more than 100 things has too complex a program, though.
-
- I guess that means the solution is to go to version 6.9....
