Handling Excessive Dialog and Text

[redpandagames]

I thought that I could use the INI object to handle my text, but it looks like the text file will end up being over the 64K limit. 6,000 words has already put my text file at 32K.

What would the best thing be to do in this case? I want to port to multiple platforms IOS/XNA/Flash/Standalone, so an extension doesn't seem like the best choice. Also, I may translate into various languages.

I think that I could max out the ini object and manually add strings by hand after that. What do you think?

Seems silly that the INI has a limit, but I guess it's just for the Windows platform, right?

Why not use a List object? Each line would be a text, and you could have easy access to them.

I guess I could do that and pull the line numbers to replace strings. Seems a little troublesome, but I'll have to try it first.
