Remember that if you quit an application and the "Largest Available Block" in "About this Computer" increases it's not necessarily all due to the application. If the application in question is fragmenting memory (which is almost always the case) it will add not only it's size but also any free space on one side of it to the "Largest Available Block" value. ShareWay IP Personal Bgnd would be called upon by FileSharing, if the ASIP option is selected in the File Sharing CP. On my system ShareWay IP Personal Bgnd uses 827K. I used a program called "Processorize 1.0" to check this. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
