Application memory for Mac's is traditionally allocated manually.
(Although other methods now exist if the program is designed for it).
You can adjust it by selecting the application's icon and going to
"Get Info" from the "File" menu. From there you can adjust the
Minimum and Preferred memory size. On my PowerBook G3 running
rebol.ppc, I tried setting these figures to 2000k (roughly 2MB).
Rebol ran just find with the several small scripts that I tried.
I tried even smaller memory sizes:
1750k - Rebol started up just fine, but crashed with one script.
Not enough memory error.
1500k - Crashed during startup while loading HTTP protocol.
Not enough memory error
1000k - Crashed during startup before loading any protocols.
A Mac 68k application requires a little less memory allocated
compared to a PPC, so you should be fine with 2000k for your
purposes. If you run into memory errors, Just increase the allocation
a little.
