Hi, I'm the author of Gofer and I use it quite a bit on PCs myself so I am
probably well qualified to answer your question:
| Please could you tell me how to change the heap size for Gofer for the PC,
| or direct me to someone who would know.
Except that, in order to answer this question, you need to tell me which
version of Gofer you are running and what kind of machine you are running
on. In general, you can set the heap size by starting Gofer with the
appropriate command line option: e.g. gofer -h35000 for a 35,000 cell
heap, gofer -h12000 for a 12,000 cell heap.
However, the maximum heap size on a PC is fairly limited. The only way that
you can get a bigger heap than the default (assuming that is what you want)
is to use a 386 or better with the 32 bit version of Gofer 2.28. The
standard PC version of Gofer runs on any kind of PC but isn't able to access
more than 640K of memory, even if your PC actually has 16M.
All of this is covered in the documentation for Gofer. Do you need pointers
as to where you can get copies?
