Back in the 70's I was hired by the State of Wisconsin to work on an IBM 360 Model 20, with 32k of memory. This was a mainframe computer. I was in charge of the edit check program that processed State Income Tax returns after they had been keyed onto tape. Every time my user would stop by and ask for a modification to the edit check program I had to determine whether there were enough free bytes left in memory in order to do what they wanted me to do. The program was written in BAS, Basic Assembler Language. Near the end I was down to around 20 free bytes of memory. "If you want me to do that, what do you want me to take out?" I feel your pain. Those were the days. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
