[comp.sys.mac] Out of memory in Multifinder

overby@agrigene.UUCP (Scott Overby) (08/08/89)

I have an SE/30 with 2Mb RAM running mulifinder.  When I open Excel 2.2 then
Word 4.0, I get not enough memory error.  When I inquire about how much memory
is taken by each application, Excel hogs 1024K RAM.  If I open Word first and
then Excel, it asks me if I want to use existing memory for Excel.  I do and I
 continue.  

From what I gather, the requested memory for Excel is set to use 1024K on 
startup (In the Finder, Get info option) and the suggested memory is 1024K.
And Word is set to 512K.  Can one get by with less than the suggested memory 
allocation?
