Building a counter problem

If I use a simple counter structure that continues to generate a
number from [f] & [+1] at every bang, and use [mod] to keep that number
within certain bounds, then eventually it will require more and more
memory to hold the number coming from [f], right? Is this a potential memory
leak, or is there a cap to how much memory it will hold?Likewise, is there a max limit to the number that can be stored in
[f]? I've seen that [f] resets itself somewhere around 8.394e+06. Does that mean that [f] resets itself and clears the memory?Or in less-theoretical and more practical terms, would it make
sense to reset [f] to 0 every so often, or let it run forever towards infinity?best, d. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/ macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 37: "Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element"
