Is there an official paper/web page that spells out the limitations of Arev, for example record size, file size, etc. My manager is looking for a document containing this information.

Record size is 64K - a few characters for control

File size limit seems to be disk

Open and attached files is a function of memory.

There aren't many limits. I suggest you try to address his concern more directly

Well… if you quick/rightdex on a file with large keys or lots of records or both the quick/rightdex index record can hit the 64K limit pretty quick.

Same thing with the %FIELDS% record in dictionaries.

Used to run across this in HR-1 systems all the time.
