63.0. "SS: Max of 129 items" by SAC::EDMUNDS (Sh ot) Fri Jul 10 1992 09:59

    Due to (unrealized) limitations in Visual Basic, you cannot store more
    than 129 items. This needs to be fixed with a change in
    architecture...for now, I've built a version that allows 50 extra items
    to be stored (shout if you need it). Other workaround is to delete
    closed items.
    
    This is a pisser, and a direct consequence of using Basic over C. Come
    on Microsoft, where's Visual C?!?!?!

Make the retention of closed lines a setable option. Something like a little 
box on the close confirm. (Like the save options on exit box was on MSWin 
3.0)

    How do you see differentiation between Close and Delete if you -don't-
    retain closed items?
63.3SBPUS4::MarkTue Jul 28 1992 13:183
Because I never want to keep deleted lines. I may or may not want to keep 
closed.

    Visual Basic restriction in V1. Fixed in V2 (out very soon). As soon as
    I can get hold of a copy of V2, you'll have a fixed version. For now
    (X.107), a precentage monitor shows how much of the database space
    you've used.
