Euphoria can support any size of array, pending memory of course. The wall
you appear to be hitting is the actual number of source code lines...it's
not a limitation in the Public Domain version, as I am a registered owner
and hit that message too when I was converting my bitmaps into Euphoria
source code. The best thing you can do is either break the constant
assignment down into several stages (instead of one mega-long assignment
statement, create your array using two or more assignment statements that
are smaller in length) or load from a file outside your program.
Hope this helps
