>From a total amateur, I'd ask "does it open it, but seem to get stuck with the spinning cursor?" 300,000 lines of code to run for errors, which emc does silently when a program is loaded, is going to take quite some time. I have run into a couple of cases where I had written a subroutine, but the exit tests were bogus, and it never came back from the spinning cursor stage. But I don't recall it has ever complained because the program was too big. I do have a 100 line program to sharpen a carbide table saw blade that has a runtime of about a day, and which takes the initial scan some minutes to complete. However I suppose it may be possible on a machine with limited memory. I like subroutines, they can shrink the code to just a few percent of the unwound versions. And, when the subroutine works, you don't have to go do 2300 identical edits on the big file to fix it. That is a huge plus in development time for a job that contains a lot of step & repeat. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
