Alright folks,

   I downloaded a copy of MacDeveloper #2 from the BMUG bbs. It was in
binhex 4.0 format, so I converted it. The resulting file was a MacWrite
document about 110000 bytes in size.  I have a 128K mac, but I have the
latest MacWrite 4.5 which can (supposedly) handle large document. (of
which this surely qualifies) However, MacWrite will not load it, saying
instead that there is not enough memory. So, question Is this the
500 paragraph/ruler limit for 128k machines? How can it break the document
up into a readable form? 

Thanks,
George Erhart

PS. I will not post the document until i can verify that it is not 
corrupt. (Who needs an extra 100K of useless info floating around the
net!)
