Excuse me if I missed this before, but how does one increase the amount of heap zone space available to the MPW linker? I'm increasingly getting -108s and full crashes. I did increase the _stack_ space via the HEXA resource, but that seems not to be what I want.

If you're not running MultiFinder then buy some more RAM :) Greg Marriott Blue Meanie Apple Computer, Inc.

Thanks much, Two variants: If you're running under MultiFinder, the option -mf to the Linker should help you. If you were running under Finder - buy a memory upgrade. Sorry.

Tool CODE segments are cached by the Shell (their resource forks are kept open as well). The Flush command purges the cached segments and closes the files.
