Aw, come on John. My modules are organized by topic. The current program I'm working on currently has 8 modules, and 3 header files. I comment my source code liberally, so not withstanding the division of source among several modules, it is not uncommon to see a couple 1000+ line files. Granted that half the stuff in a module is probably comment statements. Nonetheless, why does SDB bog down in long source modules? Lattice's CPR doesn't. None of my text editors do. I mention the problem in hopes that Manx will remove this defect from SDB.
