... I forgot to clarify the issue: I'm talking about 64bit address space. Keeping images in memory for editing or rendering may quickly exceed 2GB/4GB and then requires a 64bit address space (unless you want to write your own custom paging system to work around the limitation of 32bit processes... but this kind of stuff became more or less extinct with the rise of CPUs with 64bit address space) ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
