Hello folks, I need some help. I'm currently developing an application to take Sun raster files, and turn them into PICTII files Using Lightspeed C. Well the code works, but I have one problem left. Memory. I'm working with raster files that are fairly large (512x512) and I need a lot of memory. Which I shouldn't think would be a problem as I have 2meg in my Mac II. However, I can only seem to get Lightspeed C to give me 384K. I've tried playing around with the memory manager calls in IM Vol 2. However, they don't seem to do much good. Is this because I'm running multi-finder? What do I have to do to twist Lightspeed to give me more memory? I've already selected the more memory option. Anybody have any idea on how I can get around this problem. Tony Giaccone tonyg@cvs.rochester.edu

LightspeedC User's Manual, Chapter 7, Page 73: "THINKC uses the values you set in the Partition and MF Attrs fields [of the Set Project Type dialog] to build the SIZE resource your application needs to run under MultiFinder... ...THINK C launches your application as if you had opened it from the Finder.
