*raises his hand and owns up* Okay, so the doc reader program, and the Anti-aliaser program, and the Reporter program all use the heap... as does the Megablast demo... *apologises profusely* Chimera, my new document browser, will not use the heap. So you can rest easy :) Simon ps Anyone want to help design a standard for swapping pages and programs to the 1Mb memory on a keycombination / on program request? I'm most interested in possibly switching BASIC programs in and out ... should be reasonably easy... anyone tried it already? +- Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- Fidonet: 2:250/124.2 (Simon Cooke) -+ | Snail:1 Dovey Close, Astley, Tyldesley, Manchester, M29 7NP, UK | | Tel: (01942) 886084 Fax: (01942) 886084 (ring voice first to confirm!)| +- WWW: http://jumper.mcc.ac.uk/~simonc ----------------------------------+ ANNOUNCING the Your Sinclair WWW Archive: http://jumper.mcc.ac.uk/~simonc/ys Warning: Currently under construction in some places
