[comp.sys.apollo] Window limit??

mathas_a@maths.su.oz.au ( Andrew ) (06/30/90)

Does anyone know what the practical limit is on the number
of windows that you can have open at any one time on an 
apollo? I tend to work mainly on a DN4000, and most of the 
time it's quite happy with the load I impose on it (14+ 
windows); but every now and then the dm looses track of 
all/some of the windows - for no apparent reason. Normally, 
it's the shell windows that are lost.
    Am I asking too much, or is there something else that 
I am doing wrong?

I don't know about the "practical" limit, but the advertised limit
is 110 (50 for sr9.7 and sr10.1).  At least that is what it says in
/sys/help/limits.hlp anyway.  Is DM taking care of any X-Windows when
this problem occurs?
