Prime.log file size

2009-08-08, 01:18

I was just going through my prime95 files and saw that the prime.log file size was 597 KB. I remembered having read something about that file in the undoc.txt, looked again, and found this:

You can control the maximum prime.log file size. The default is 250K. Add
this line to prime.txt to change the default:
MaxLogFileSize=n

I guess that either there is a bug with the code or the limit was removed/changed. Does anyone have a clue about this?

The default limit is 2MB. I'll fix the documentation.

Wow, that was a quick response, especially for such a minor inconvenience :)

Thanks George.
