Someone posted a message about GOMF saying that req.library's file requester trashes a low-memory-vector. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. It is a known problem with GOMF, not req.library. This point has been brought up before and explained before. As far as to what a low-memory vector is (the poster asked), all system vectors, such as exception and interrupt vectors, are stored in low memory. You naturally don't want these stomped. To reliably check low-memory violations, use Enforcer (you need an MMU to use Enforcer - either a 68020 + 68851 or a 68030). This has been done with req.library and it passes ok. ###################################################################### # | The street finds its own | Any opinions expressed # # Colin Fox | use for things. -W.Gibson | herin reflect only those # #Carpe Diem!+-----------------------------++ of my employer.

Well, I'm using the enforcer, CED, an older version of req.library (it came with Manx 5.0a) and NOT GOMF and I get memory hits whenever I bring up the file requster. I vote on that both GOMF and the older version of req.library is not quite nice to the system. -- ########################################################## # Michael Jansson | \_/ # Internet: mij@IDA.LIU.SE | V _|_ # UUCP: uunet!liuida!mij | | Absolut Software| # BITNET: mij@SELIUIDA | ~~~
