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!!
