EdHT Information & Limits

Note: This was modified from Andrew Guthrie's original EdHT web site.

At the moment a maximum of 20,000 lines are available, each line is limited to 1400 characters.

(NB. This may be a 10,000 line limit As Andrew Guthrie (the Author) may have changed this during development. AB Sunday 17-Jun-2001 18:10:45)

Loaded files won't include data after the 20,000th carriage return or data after the 1500th character before a carriage return. The limit will eventually be only governed by memory availability instead of software limits. If you hit the 20,000 line limit while editing you will will get an out of memory message. I have not found the 20,000 line limit a problem yet.

You can only use show.. save to show your pages with ARrex compatible Browsers such as -

• AWeb
• AMosiac
• IBrowse
  • Tested EdHT with registered versions of IBrowse, if IBrowse does not switch to the front screen with show.. save then name your IBrowse screen
    IBrowse by using-
    MUI Preferences - System - Call Inspector .
    This is not going to work if you want to use your Workbench screen for IBrowse.

If you are using more than one browser at the same time, EdHT selects the first one it finds in the same order as listed above.
