In printing a plain ASCII report (using writeln(myprinterTxtFile,
myString)), I would like to add MyString also to a memo and display the
output as it is created.

If I do that, will I exceed the capacity of the memo component to store
data?

If so, any other suggestions?  I know I can save the text to an ordinary
textfile, but then I will need a textfile viewer, and I cant find one.

It depends on the operating system.  Under Windows 9X the memo can
hold 32K under NT it can hold, in theory, the lengh of an ANSIString
(2 billion characters).

Orpheus, from TurboPower has a text editor and viewer component that
will hold 16 megs of data on windows 9x machines.  I'm switching to it
in the program I'm working on because I'm running into the 32K limit
under Windows 9x.

Take Care,
