Hello:
This seems like it must be a FAQ, but I have not been able to find
the answer searching the archives. What is the behavior of writesf~
if you accidentally forget to turn it off? Will it eat up all the
disk space on your computer and crash the system? Is there a way to
tell it to quit if a file exceeds a maximum size?
Thanks.
Cheers, David

Hi David,
Once your disk is filled, a write operation wil fail and writesf~ should stop then.

A feature request, then. writesf~ should take a message to set a
maximum size avoiding an operating system panic. ...or just print
the message "Linux hates itself." :-)

I suggest to print the message "David F. Place hates Linux" until someone actually figures out where that problem comes from.

Just to set the record straight. David F. Place loves linux. The
message proposal was an inside joke. I guess I shouldn't have
broadcast it.

Why? Because you can't take my jokes?

For now you could also schedule a "stop" message to [writesf~] with a [delay <maxlength>] object that's bang'd whenever you "start" recording.
Wrap this it into an abstraction and you should have your feature request fulfilled.
