1. Pixmap limit?

I'm wondering (all you windows programmers out there) how many pixmaps you 
can have open at one time? They'll be big, whatever the resolution of the 
system is (800x600, 1024 x768, etc)

Or does anyone know how much memory pixmaps take according to their size, or 
if there are any other limits to how many can be open?

The program has to work on the USER'S system, not mine, otherwise I'd just 
loop create until freeze.

2. Pixmap limit?

Topica is clipping off the top of all my posts, not sure why.
So, I'll put some unimportant stuff here so that it gets clipped.

On Win NT/2000/XP number of resources is virtually unlimited. But on Win9x,
the system has limited number of resources and tends to behave strange or
crash when nearing the limit (shared by all applications)

They should take bits_per_pixel * width * height / 8 bytes + some extra.

extra line
Ok then...

Assuming 64mb RAM....
24bit x 1024 x 768 / 8 + (abit) =3D 2,359,296 + a few
So... about 25 - 30 then.... damn.

24bit x 800 x 600 / 8 + (abit) =3D 1,440,000 + a few
So... about 44

Oh well... I'll just recommend more memory, or just let it use virtual=20
memory.
