Hello guys,

I have been experiencing some problems when trying to load huge files on
povray. Does it have a limit? I am using povray 3.5 and I'm running it from
classic environment.
Is there a limit for a source file to be loaded from povray? Because I could
load the file using BBEdit with no problems.

Thanks in advance

Fidel.

Well, the limit is the memory available to POV-Ray.  If the file does not
fit into the memory allocated for POV-Ray (you can change it via the Get
Info dialog in the Finder as usual), it won't be able to load the file.
