    Hey, is there a limit to how big you can make the dimensions of a pic with CreateCompatibleBitmap API?
    To understand recursion, one must first understand the concept of recursion.

    Probably only your memory I guess you can't make arrays huger than 2 Gigabytes.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Yes, it depends on your memory, but per say that you did have over 2 terabytes of ROM and RAM, it would be limited to the value of the Long Integer (2,147,483,647).

    Windows also simulates memory on a hard disk, it's not only the SDRAM/RDRAM/... and certainly not ROM.

    hehe cool And yeah with Virtual Memory you probably only need a HD with at least 2GB memory free.
