[FLASH-USERS] Maximum number of blocks

[Seyit Hocuk]

Hi all,

I have a question about the maximum amount of blocks you can use for a 
simulation. I want to increase my resolution and give a high number for 
maxblocks, but I get an error that  a common block or variable may not 
exceed 2147483647 bytes. See the error below.
The setup is successfull "./setup jeans_SH -auto -maxblocks=90000", but 
while making it has this error.

Is there a way to increase my resolution without this error?

Thanks,
Seyit
