- Does ThinkC have problems with editing large files? In the course of
- trying to debug a program I generated a largish (200-400K) text file
- and tried to use the ThinkC editor to search for simple regular
- expressions (like ^0 0). After a while it complained it was out of
- memory and eventually crashed -- once with a complete freeze and once
- with a (recoverable) system error [before I went to MPW to view the
- file :( -- and then to UNIX to awk, grep, search etc :-) ].
-
- Is the editor supposed to handle these size files?
