Well, there _is_ a limit (or did i miss something???):

samterm/samterm.h:#define       MAXFILES        256

(which i found when i did something like 'sam */*.[ch]' - after sam panic-ed
 ("menuins"), i checked and found that i tried to load > 1000 files... :-)
That 'panic' surprised me a bit, though - i second above praise about
avoided arbitrary limits: i use to 'sam first, ask questions later'
(like: 'how many files i'm loading?') and it (almost :-) always works!!
