Oops I didnt really give it much testing did I? The 32k limit must be to do
with the LISTBOX control I have used... I would use memos or richeditors but
in VEL005 memos dont display carriage returns properly and you cant update
the text for a richeditor from inside your program without creating a
temporary file! Maybe I should use multiple listboxes, one per 32k? Or maybe
a redesign altogether?
As for direct location jumping I will put that in the next version!

Hmmm maybe, I am opening the file as a binary file I will look at this.

Must be the listbox again.

I dont believe it is, which is a shame. VEL is a great development tool.

Yes I guess I should test things more before I release them! LOL ;)
