Script too large to compile

[Tony Zuccolotto]

Mark,

This typically results from exceeding the maximum constant/string space
allowed by the E-Basic compiler.   Most often this happens when you used
a very large number of objects in your experiment, e.g. by declaring a
unique procedure to present each stimulus rather than declaring the
stimuli on Lists and using one procedure with a single stimulus
presentation object whose content is set to be pulled from an attribute
on the List.

Also, E-Prime 1.1 (as opposed to E-Prime 1.0) modifies the way it writes
out it's script to initialize objects to help with this problem.   If
you by chance haven't yet upgraded to 1.1 and the latest service pack
you should do so.

Hope this helps,
Tony
