Question: Does the Exec (or what ever you call the memory management area) keep memory aside for emergency use? Reason: What prompted this question is the fact I was using a program, and I did know I was starting to run short on memory, but I kept using the program, pushing it to it's limits. The program froze the machine. The only way out is to reboot, which I did. And then I got guru # 82011234.00FC082C. The utility that I have says this means: FF:.2>guru 82011234.00FC082C Graphics: emergency memory not available. This is not a very important question to me, but I would still like to know what this is all about. Learning about my mistress... Ami. Robin Ritchey - a46@mindlink.UUCP

Like most ripcords, it can only be pulled once without repacking the chute :-) -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
