- This is a limit of the Teach format. There is some upper limit on
- the length of a single Teach file (either 64K or 128K...) TeachReader
- probably stores the file internally in Teach format (and thus the limit).
- If you just want to view files, get the File Manager NDA. The view
- function lets you search for text and page through multiple files.
