Hi Tomas, Many thanks for your answer. Here is a copy of a fresh session under RStudio, and after a copy under Rgui. Strangely enough the result of memory.limit() is not the same. Without your question I would not have looked to RGui, being used to work with RStudio. The value under RGui

Hi, I am not not sure whether this topic belongs to this mail list, but I feel the subscribers here should be the right audience. I noticed that the memory limit reported under Windows is 16 GB. I am wondering how to increase it. I didn't found anything in Rprofile.site nor .Rprofile. Is this
