About Icon 6.5 for the Atari ST: The release (e) as distributed, was a little tight in heap memory available, aborting for some programs with a message complaining about not enough space. (e.g. #309 or #310) The MCC library for the C compiler is weird about memory management. To overcome this, at execution time, you can change the heap size by: iconx %300000 program-name Where %300000 is an example of the heap memory size you request. By default this request is 200000, enough to run all the Icon test suite programs, but not enough for some other. On a 1040ST, without shell, you can try up to aroud %700000. This MCC "feature" *cant* be used from Icont, with the -x option. (The % arg is not passed to iconx, but used by icont, that does not need it.) A modified version (f) with a default of 260000 is released, and sent to: userczak@ualtamts (bitnet) listserv@canada01 (the useful prog-a16 server, on bitnet) hahn_k@dmrhrz11 (earn, europe) ihnp4!uwmcsd1!lakesys6martin (uucp-us) ihnp4!ihlpe!orf (uucp-us) ukc!uk!ac!qmc!maths!gcj (uucp-europe) Please do all request from your closest site.
