st: STATA 8 and byte size

["Gauri Khanna" <gwkhanna@hotmail.com>]

Dear Stata list,

I was trying to open a do file in STATA 8 and got a message saying that the 
file is larger than 32000 bytes. I did not know such a limit existed as the 
same file opens perfectly well in STATA 9.

Apart from splitting the do file, is there any other solution such as trying 
to increase the file size to the maximum available in STATA 8? If so, what 
is it?

Thank you.

Regards,

Gauri Khanna
