I'm building an MDI based editor in Turbo Pascal for Windows.
As the MDI-children, I use a TFileWindow descendant. The problem
with this is that the text files edited with this TFileWindow cannot
be larger than about 32k. Someone told me how at least the user can
be told that his file has been truncated, but that is not an optimal
solution.
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this barrier?
Do I have to reprogram the TFileWindow completely (pfew! I would not 
know where and how to start!), or is there a workaround or a toolbox
available? Any help would be much appreciated.
Please e-mail your answer to r.p.essenius@et.tudelft.nl, as I use
an account of a friend here.

Thanks in advance,

Rik Essenius
