[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Canvas 2.1 Printing/memory problem

qureshi@ocf.berkeley.edu (Mohammad Qureshi) (06/13/91)

First, I've posted this to both comp.sys.mac.apps and hardware because I don't
know what the cause of this problem is. If this is in the wrong group I
apologize.

The problem

I was using canvas 2.1 in multifinder. When I tried to print I was told that I
was out of memory. I let go of some da's and printed. I made some additions
and got the out of memory error again. Again closed some da's and it worked.

The question

Why did this happen?

Background facts.

Setup:  IIsi with 5 megs ram. no cards using built in video. 80 meg hd

prior to first attempt

I had the cache at 32k, and the following list of da's

those that come with the system plus Canvas 2.1 da, dcad calc,disktop,McSink7
expressionist, notepad, parlaink, puzzle, address book.

I deleted the cache and adressbook to get the first print

the second printing I removed all the others.

OOPS. I was running suitcaseii 1.2.10


Any help would be appreciated....

Also is there a program out there that can tell me how my memory is being used 
while I'm running an application?

Thanks in advance. Please E-mail replies.
