[Scilab-users] command longer than 4096

[Federico Miyara]

Christopher,

Yes, you understand correctly my case.

There is a reason that justifies my request: I often use my scripts as 
examples within a didactic context. They are exhaustively commented, for 
instance. I consider it preferable to have all the needed data in the 
same script since I cannot be sure that potential future users who find 
my script will also find the associated file with the data (sometimes 
one downloads a file for future use without checking whether we are 
downloading all the associated files).

Then they should also change the script according to the particular 
directory tree where they choose to place the data, which is an 
unnecessary distraction from the very point of the example.

I agree that it wouldn't be convenient nor practical to work in this way 
with very large data sets, but some 1000 data is not unusual.

Regards,

Federico Miyara
