Hmmm..OK.

Advice yesterday was to do it in preOpenStack, but I'll check it out.

I dunno why, but RR is much improved now, using Virtual Memory. Almost like
it took a few runs to learn new memory paths to draw from. It's a bit
sluggish, but the crashing pretty much quit.

Thanks Geoff.

I think so. It's not so much of a complaint as a concern. None of your
solutions will work on my PB; memory limit at 64mb. If I could have, I would
have, long ago. Also, I often write to emulate for older machines (schools,
ministries, handicap facilities, etc.). I know the memory for
standalones/running stacks is much less than what's required for
development. I'll try some scripting without the RR UI, too. Also looking
into freeGUI. Also, using Virtual Memory seems to have kicked in (see
above).

OK Scott?

Great question. It would help a whole lot to be able to make such estimates.
Thanks fo bringing this up

Best regards to all,
