This isn't how it used to be. It used to be your app only got what was allocated in the get info section. So, yes, he is saying that has changed. I haven't verified this, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it, since that was one of the single most common complaints among s/w engineers way back when... There were always API's for doing this, but you always told (by Apple) not to use them. > Somehow I have not experienced this.

Its amazing to me that the Mac is one of the few that still exists in modern day with this kind of architecture. People talk about how Apple lost their market share and wut not, but, for this out dated architecture to still be around means that a lot of people somewhere liked something about it, and not just a little but, but enough to resist the evil temptations (until recently, cheap, fast, etc.). --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
