The tips are appreciated. AFAICT, the limit on total resource sizes
is within a kB or 2 of 2 or 4 GB, with the limitation that the last
resource must start within the first ~16 MB. Given the fact that the
files I'm opening are in the 1-300k range, I suspect I have bigger
problems than the resource file format if I start to approach that
limit.
One thing I can't figure out though... why is the limit 2727?
Assuming you have only 1 resource type and no names, you can fit
exactly twice that many references in the map. It's not relevant to
my problem, but I am curious.
Each resource entry is a 12 byte structure (2 byte ID, 2 byte offset
to name, 1 byte flag, 3 byte offset to data, 4 bytes used as handle
when loaded into memory). Combined with 2 byte offset limit on the
size of the resource entry list, that gives 65535 / 12 = 2727.
