I have an Aztec C program that produces a 50K executable that, for reasons of utility, should be a Desk Accessory rather than an application. In all the documentation I have available (Inside Macintosh, Macintosh Revealed, and the Aztec docs) rather vague, but small, limits are placed on the size of DA's. Inside Mac, for example, places an 8k "practical limit" on DA's. This was probably written when all Macs were 128K and seems rather low with respect to 512K Macs and 1MB Plusses. Does anybody out there have any hard information (or pointers to such) on what the limits are, their causes, work arounds, and/or experience with large DA's? Please don't restrict responses to Aztec C environments; anything will help. Thanks in advance, Paul Topping Unix mail: ihnp4!druhi!prt US Mail: 4454 Glencove Pl. Boulder, CO 80301
