Maybe you're using an external editor that can't load large files into memory?

It loads into fseditor.js by default.

I guess it doesn't like the text.dat file then. I honestly would not expect that to work very well, even if you could load it.

because the file is larger than the buffer allocated... when the buffer was full and there was still more file to load, the system detected it as "out of [buffer] memory"...

Does any of the text editors load text.dat properly in Synchronet internally?

you must use a external editor.

Why don't you try it??? And then let us know, eh?

My educated guess is "no".

Yes, I've always used an editor on the OS. I've never thought to edit text.dat with an editor through Synchronet while online on my BBS.

I don't know; it's not something I've ever tried.
