Hmmmm.....  5400 sounds closer to the maximum number of messages that the dupe 
checker retains info on.  I thought I ran up to about 10K for my max in some 
areas prior to switching to OS/2/.  Maybe not....   It also depends on some 
otheer settings that impact how memory is used that then impacts the limits of 
things like this....  I was optimized for greater packet size and message size 
than for speed...  As I recall, you hit most of the limits in the DOS version 
of Squish, but some were also in the DOS version of Max.  (For instance Max 
only allows up to 100 lines in messages generated by the interal editor in DOS, 
and allows up to 250 lines in the OS/2 version.)

Thanks for the comment....

Take care.....
