Re: RPG Futures (was free form RPG reference)

Poppycock!! Rich data structures like limitless arrays (no such thing, actually 
- there are always limits on things) are done every day on the i5 - in anything 
written in C/C++ - I cannot let this false impression go without comment. Not 
enough CPW? Sheesh!!

I can live with fixed form Ds - I _can't_ live with the artificial 
restrictions I face in array size, DS size, etc. To me that is a much 
bigger problem in these days of XML parsing etc. 

hey, progress. The problem is I dont think the i5 has enough CPW to 
handle feature rich data structures like limitless arrays. There is 
also the issue of the 16meg size limit. I cant afford to upgrade from 
v5r1. Is there a size limit in v5r4 support for XML?
