My problem basically revolves around asking AllocMem() for fast memory.
What ever I ask for (Fast/Chip/Public), I seem to get Chip memory. I
should point out that this is on an Amiga 1000 with 1Meg of ram. Ta.

Please never, ever, ask for just "Fast" memory because on many machines (in particular 1M 2000's with 1M agnui) there won't be any Fast memory and your program will fail even though there is enough memory to answer the request. If you think things are behaving strangely, run the Frags program from the Lattice distribution disk, or one of the early Fish disks to show you what your memory map looks like. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
