No, nobody likes VO. It's not just that it's a hideously slow, unweildy abortion of a product, it's also that even a mid-size program developed with VO will GPF on a fairly regular basis. No serious developers who aren't stuck with VO because of legacy applications are using it today. As I see...

To be honest, we don't have too many files using CDX RDDs, but our main CDX dbf hit the wall much earlier. We found it necessary to start archiving at around 386,000 records (which was only 79Mb!) -- You should note that we had 4 tags in the CDX in question. We hear rumours that the COMIX RDDs...
