Table Builder Suggestion (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

When you launch TB_MAIN, display a table, and double-click to display a symbolic dictionary item, the area for the formula is small and the form is not expandable. How about letting us maximize that window and allowing the code portion to expand with the window.
Better yet, how about distributing the source code to this form (like in arev) so we can tweek it for ourselves? I am not looking for rbasic source code, just the ability to paint the form.

Dan,
In OI16 there can be problems with large formulas. See the following thread: . If the problems persist in OI32 it's just as well the formula area is small, not to encourage developers to write long formulas. Even if it's solved there may be other reasons to avoid long formulas. See one of Don Miller's responses.

Well, how about another suggestion… Could we fix the issue with large formulas? I am not looking for huge, just backward compatibility with arev. It seems like 32 bit OI should be able to handle 16 bit arev formulas.

Guys-
We'll take a look at these on Tuesday. I can give out the windows, but not the code. Can you ensure they will be returned and work with all existing code?

FWIW, OI16 seems to cough on formulas of more than about 16K source. Even worse, it compiles but then aborts at run time if the data area (variable size) gets big enough. Also, it has some problems with nested gosubs / calls. In general, I have converted most long forumlas to functions in SPROCS and just do a call. This also makes debugging a formula MUCH easier.
