This can also be done with an Arachne Script File (*.asf). I wrote a
little script for the last version Michael released that had 2
alternate low and lowest memory core.exe files and then put a button
on my dialer page to swap them from withing Arachne. You could even
put a button on the Toolbar (for those using 800x600 or greater
resolution). It worked great. Now though, with the functionality of
Arachne with LSPPP, low memory is less of a problem for A'. HTH.
