Hi Chad, good try, but there is unfortunately no parameter related to memory. sysctl -a displays all of the parameters and their current settings, nothing amongst them which looks like it's of help here.
Thanks for the help, I guess, I have to see if I can talk to somebody @ Apple or one of the darwin developer's groups. Best regards, Chris At 21:19 -0700 01/25/2002, Chad R.
