Hi,
Could be I didn't read enough of the v4.1.0 docs to see that Watcom wasn't supported anymore.. I'll check!
But it seems very likely that this is a PEBKAC (Problem exists between (my) keyboard and chair) ;)
It makes sense to drop 32 bit support if all OS are 64 bit, even though I don't see
the vast majority of users writing any app needing 64 bit address space.
My Euphoria apps never consume more than 2Mb while running.. the biggest sizing issue I had was trying to write to over 200 files at the same time for a reindexing data operation.
My workaround was to open/close each file whenever doing a write.. That slowed down the app a LOT even though my drive is SSD.
Its a Windows file limit issue, not Euphoria.
Using a database with multiple tables would have been another solution.
My largest app is over 2000 lines of source code without includes, and 32 bit is still fine. Speaking for myself of course.
