Is there a maximum width for a window?  I am creating a window with a
width of 34000 and a height of 1200 and I am getting a DPS context error  
on the command placewindow (origin of 0,0).  The problem does not seem to  
go away until I bring the width down to about 10000 or so.

Thanks!
   Howard

Yes there is, in just about the region you describe.  Also, what do
you need that kind of Window for?  Even at the lowliest 2 bit/no alpha
it would take 97 Megabytes.  I hope you've upgraded your memory or
are very, very patient ( "Testing hard drive now..." :-) )

Been there, done that.  There's a little-known DPS limit to the width of a  
window of right around 10K.
