PRB: Bitmap Causes Windows Help Compiler Out-of-Memory Error

 * }

Q86332

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

-

SYMPTOMS
When version 3.1 of the Microsoft Windows Help Compiler compiles an RTF (rich-text format) file, the compiler runs out of memory. This occurs in the HC31.EXE application running under MS-DOS or OS/2 and in the HCP.EXE application that uses extended memory under MS-DOS.

CAUSE
The RTF file contains a pasted bitmap larger than 64K.

RESOLUTION
Remove the bitmap from the RTF source and store it in a file. Import the bitmap into the RTF source file by reference. For more information on importing a bitmap by reference, see page 29 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit: Programming Tools&quot; manual, and pages 258-260 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit: Programmer's Reference, Volume 4: Resources&quot; manual.
