When I had a 1meg ST, I would be left with about 300K of free RAM when running Uniterm. Now that I've got a 2.5 meg ST, I am left with the same amount of free RAM while running Uniterm. (yes, I'm using the same accs, etc. as before) What gives here? Is Uniterm like Excell on the Mac, i.e. it expands to whatever the RAM will allow? What buffers can I/should I edit to get more operating room? Thanks very much for any help. --Gerry maxg@suvm (bitnet) ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu (internet)

The amount of RAM uniterm leaves for the rest of the system is explicitly set in the "System" menu. Anything you increase here will cause a corresponding decrease in the size of your history buffer. (So in that respect, yes, it expands to fill all available space, minus what you tell it to save... The history buffer will always be whatever memory is left over from allocating all the other buffers.) -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
