Sir:
Not good news:
% There is no specific limit on file size with VEEDOC, though of course
available system memory is a concern.
% According to the lab guys, the error message means VEEDOC found a
VEE construct it did not understand and which blew its simple little
mind.
% Furthermore, VEEDOC was a rather poorly-implemented tool and was strongly
prone to such errors. As of VEE 3.2, much more effective functionality
was incorporated in VEE as the File->Save Documentation menu selection.
No further work on VEEDOC itself is planned.
Not sure where to go from here, sir. Please stay in touch.
