Hello All !
What are Squish's area, messages and size limitations ?
A RA_SUPPORT guy said JAM had a 10,000 area limit and unlimited messages.
Maximus has a Squish "Renum Max" keyword limit of 65535 (I think). Is this a
limitation of Squish or Maximus ?
From Squish.Doc, it appears that Squish has the following limitations,
====================================================================
Maximum areas: Unlimited (depending on available memory)
Maximum messages per area: 5,400 (16 bit), "almost any size" (32 bit)
Maximum message size: 63k (16 bit), 256k (32 bit)
Maximum area size: N/a
====================================================================
But the information is inconclusive / non definitive, as they're based on SQFix
and <msgbuf>.
The only definitive information is regarding the maximum number of echo areas.
Here're the details I could garner,
+---------------+
| Maximum areas |
+---------------+
Unlimited:
Any number of EchoMail areas can be defined, limited by available
memory.
+---------------------------+
| Maximum messages per area |
+---------------------------+
5,400 msgs for 16 bit and "almost any size" for 32 bit:
While the 16-bit version of SQFIX is limited to areas of roughly
5400 messages in size, SQFIX32 can rebuild message areas of
almost any size.
+----------------------+
| Maximum message size |
+----------------------+
63k (16 bit) and 256k (32 bit):
The defaults for the 16-bit versions of Squish (SQUISH and
SQUISHP) are:
BUFFERS writebuf outbuf msgbuf
Small 16k 16k 16k
Medium 26k 40k 32k
Large 57k 57k 63k
The defaults for the 32-bit versions of Squish (SQ386 and
SQ386P) are:
BUFFERS writebuf outbuf msgbuf
Small 64k 64k 64k
Medium 76k 128k 128k
Large 128k 512k 256k
+-------------------+
| Maximum area size |
+-------------------+
I'll assume this will be the maximum Operating System file size.
Or ~332 mbs for 16 bit Squish (5,400 * 63k = 340,200 kbs).
