Thanks Len for all this. Of course, the swap list! Now let's bring this one on. I have forgotten all about how to do all this. I will search and find out. Be nice to have an extra 500MB! I hav evidence today that something coud not do what I wanted because of a lack of memory (batch process of big tiffs to resize them, re canvas size them and jpg them - Fireworks would only do a few of them! FW is not so savy about working with disk memory, it is a simple thing but it has some very good export algorithms is why I keep using it. -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
