- *
- * Syntax: NTXSIZE( <key length>, <expN> )
- * Return: <expN> integer maximum potential number of bytes in index file

- FUNCTION NTXSIZE
- *
- PARAMETERS keylen, last_recno
-
- IF last_recno == 0
- RETURN 2048 && size of empty ntx file, any key size
- ELSE
- RETURN ( INT(last_recno/INT(((1020/(keylen+10))-1)/2))+1 ) * 1024
- ENDIF
-
- * return statement is based on this algorithm:
- * maxitem = 1020 / (keylen+10) && max items per node
- * minkeys = int( (maxitem-1) / 2 ) && min keys per node
- * knodes = int( last_recno / minkeys ) && kbytes of nodes
- * return (knodes+1) * 1024 && add one for the header
