RE: [FW1] Objects.c: Maximum size reach

["Mystery Guest" <fw58959@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

Interesting.  I have approximately 23,000 objects defined in my objects.C 
(It is 15 MB in size) and it works just fine.  I do need to the following to 
get things to work smoothly:

1. Specify fw_light_verify (true) (see Phoneboy FAQ),and,
2. Raise the fwd_conn_tout value (again see Phoneboy FAQ), and,
3. Be at SP7 (I'm Version 4.0)

The latter requirement is needed in order to get gen times of 30 seconds 
instead of 45 minutes.  Load times are still in the range of 3 to 4 minutes.

Hope this helps.....
