[comp.sys.atari.st] Uniterm 2.0a bug

c162-br@zooey.Berkeley.EDU (Warner Young) (03/23/88)

	Not being able to reach Simon Poole by email, I'm afraid I have to
post this publicly.  Every time I try to "Run Program..." from the Uniterm
screen, it goes for a while and then returns with a TOS error #39.  What's
wrong?  I'm running this on 512K 520 ST.  Do I not have enough memory?

	Answers appreciated.

TOS error #39 is probably "insufficient memory".
Uniterm (like most ST programs) automatically take ALL memory on startup.
You have to change the buffersizes [Settings] [Buffers...] ...

In particular you must increase the "System" Buffer size until it is
large enough for the program you want to run (it defaults to only 5K).

Using this I have even been able to run Pecan Software's UCSD p-System
(which needs all the non-OS memory on a 512K 520ST just to start!)
under Uniterm 2.0a, on my MEGA ST2.
