Anyone out there now how to increase the system heap at startup time. I am
running into to problem of not having enough system heap to run many ResEdit
features. I am running about (6) INIT's (not counting any that may exist in
cdev formats). Anyone got an idea? Thanks,
- Brad

Thanks, CE Software sells the utility program Widgets 3.0.2 with its DA DiskTop. Widgets allows you to increase the system heap size by x K, x being an integer that you get to specify. The change takes effect upon rebooting. --- RB

The change takes effect upon rebooting. On the current DiskTop release disk, there is now a dedicated application called "Heap Fixer" that can be used to change the System Heap size. The supplied directions are less than clear, however; you have to experiment with it. If you have a copy of Fedit, you may be able to use that instead. Fedit allows editing of the boot blocks on a startup disk, and the System Heap size is stored there. Since Fedit has not been updated in (??) years, I am not sure whether the current boot blocks structure is consistent with its block editor. Does anyone know for sure? -- Julian Vrieslander Neurobiology & Behavior, W250 Mudd Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853 UUCP: {cmcl2,decvax,rochester,uw-beaver}!cornell!batcomputer!eacj INTERNET: eacj@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu BITNET: eacj@CRNLTHRY
