I just checked -- Eudora and iCab both do this. I believe Internet Explorer does too. >The flip side of this is, if it is possible for Mac applications to >dynamically allocate themselves more Ram as they need it (like Rev seems >to), why don't more do it? Most applications know fairly well how much memory they'll need. Others have more variable requirements. You'll find that the development environment takes a lot of memory. Your finished application will likely need much less. I've built standalones that ran happily in 4MB. regards, Geoff
