Inspecta is nice. The first thing registered here when I switched to OS/2.
It has a similar limitation. The file_names and descriptions are kept in a
64kb image. That allows for approx 300 files with 200 character, or 400
files with 150 character, descriptions. We hit the wall with that a year or
so ago. Sigh!
Next time you are emailing David ask him about the 32 bit version.
Regards ... John
