I like that explanation very much. I have a different hypothesis: my inbox just got too big. How does DOS address a sequential file like in.mbx? Is it a 16-bit word, or a 32-bit word? I come from a minicomputer environment in which each pair of bytes was addressed with an unsigned 32-bit integer, i.e., a very large maximum file size. I suspect that Eudora uses a 16-bit pointer instead. This would be easy enough to test. Do you have the Eudora tech support email address? We should pose this question to them. /s/ Paul Mitchell
