yes but what happened to dynamic managed memory allocation as was in Unix since the year dot and even in windows 3 I doubt very much if memory allocation for PS in OSX is much more than a 'recomendation' - (nice value for UNIX geeks) I find it hard to believe that Adobe would take us back to the dark ages by simply having a program grab memory exclusively for itself aka the last century approach in OS9 philip =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
