Jim, can you correct this in the published LSM? It's a bit pointless to release mem 1.6 just to correct the LSM date. > - check_name() uppercases MCB.name.

There is no why -- it's just the same thing that MS MEM does. So for compatibility I'm doing it as well -- otherwise MS MEM gives a different value than FD MEM which is very strange. Also a new program that is loaded will have the same environment size that MEM has so in that way it make sense. > - "don't merge free blocks in the output anymore" - why?
