I've written a couple of what I consider to be fairly
big applications, but I don't remember pages and pages
of variables. Much closer to 100 than to 1000, certainly.
Although, I just counted 90 in PSConfig, which is the
last big program I wrote before I learned how to write
with objects in a sensible way. Maybe 1000 is not far
out of the ballpark. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say, if I were to write PSConfig over, I'm
certain it wouldn't have anywhere close to 90 variables in
the info structure. And I second JD's call to get rid of the
NO_COPY keyword. There are MUCH better ways to pass information
around in widget programs!
