Hi, Glenn -- What appears to be the source for my problem is not memory, but directory assignment difficulty for Arachne. I've got Insight to work properly *after* giving it the C:\ARACHNE directory installation, instead of using C:\TELECOM\ARACHNE. I couldn't seem to convince Arachne 1.71;UE01 that it could function from this latter directory, although the setup routine accepted the assignment -- and everything else within Arachne (outside of answering e-mail from Insight) worked fairly well. My memory, by the way, is around 149[+] green and fluctuates some with different things going on, but that doesn't seem to be the issue here. I can live with Arachne functioning at C:\ARACHNE, but I had wished to have it conveniently located in my C:\TELECOM directory with other telecommunications programs. Again, it's not that important, but on the other hand, I don't recall (off hand) any documentation that requires Arachne to be installed only from \ARACHNE, and not within a subdirectory.
