At my last job, I had a single C++ file of roughly 5K lines, and it wasn't at all unmanageable. Probably wouldn't have been a problem to have another order of magnitude on that. What sort of wimpy text editor are you using that you can't find what you're looking for in a single large file? Less steps to get to the file, more searching within the file. Much easier. ChrisA
