Actually, it says that the number of _documents_ to be checked (or in other words, links in that many documents) is limited in the online version. This is not the same thing as the maximum number of links. The maximum number of documents is 150 nowadays for the online version. > The question if it would be unlimited with this command thing (i have > no clue on what this means) arises, The command line version of the link checker can be invoked in a shell (command prompt) window. On unixish platforms that's "./checklink", and on Windows I believe it's "perl checklink" (assuming that the checklink script is in the current directory and "perl" is in your PATH). In that mode, the code does not place any restrictions on the number of links or documents to be checked. > also if there is anything that can really check all regardless how > big the database is?? As said, there are no limits in the link checker code when it's run on the command line. On the other hand, the script keeps track of the processed links and other things in memory, so ultimately the amount of RAM you have available dictates the practical maximum of links the link checker can process.
