Oh, yeah. I have some that are larger (Not including shared
libraries/scripts), and they *could* use some cleanup, but when that client
needs the "update/fix" yesterday because they decided to change some aspect
of their workflow and you hit that character limit the first thing to go is
the comments.

"Jeez, maybe I can fit this in if I delete those comments I won't need to
rewrite too much. I shouldn't need those.." Been there, done that. Not a
real cool idea..


I consider the 32kb limit to be a sign of a poorly written aplication, as
are the dependencies on the QuickDraw Extensions.. (Those are my 2 biggest
complaints with this product. And the only ones I might add..;-)

From the FS3.5.1 ReadMe:

***********************
FaceSpan 3.5.1 ReadMe

OS 9 USERS:
New features in FaceSpan 3.5.1 and its saved applications require the
following QuickDraw 3D extensions to be enabled: QuickDraw 3D, QuickDraw
3D Viewer. Digital Technology Int. is currently working to remove these
dependencies. Because, QuickDraw 3D is installed as a default feature for
all US distributions of the MacOS, this requirement should have limited
scope.
