Is it possible that they somehow manage to get around the 64K resource limits of Win98/SE/ME?

The router's ability to complete a board has nothing to do with the OS except for when you bump up against memory limitations (which is fairly unlikely in your system) The autorouter code is an encapsulated function, and besides, you are still running Win98SE, it's just wrapped up in Linux. The memory management for the app is still the same; it's calling Windows services for everything, not linux. The linux memory services only help YOU when the Win98SE barfs. Instead of your machine coming down, only a controllable piece of Linux is brought down which can be successfully managed by Linux. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Van Dellen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 10:56 AM > To: Protel EDA Forum > Subject: Re: [PEDA] Protel under Win4Lin (WAS OpenOffice & 3D CAD) > > > I run ProtelSE sp6 on Win4Lin 4.
