Hello g00r00!

What are the current limits in Mystic for the number of message groups, number of message areas, number of messages in a (JAM) message base (either local or networked), number of file groups, number of file areas and the maximum size of a file in bytes?

From what I have been able to see from records.112 and some fields in the Mystic configuration, I'm guessing at 65535 message/file groups (5 digits), 999999 messages (6 digits) per area, and a maximum file size of 4,294,967,295 bytes (13 characters including commas)?

I've taken some time to try to (if necessary) auto-truncate numbers in my theme to avoid overflows here and there...

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Bj”rn
