This is new in Elephant 1.01:

- Start with 19 MByte RAM
- Configuration file elephant.ini
- "Elephant 1.01" as winboard name

I use about 1 MByte of RAM plus the size of the two hash tables.
This size is 16 MByte + 2 MByte or whatever you write in the
configuration file "elephant.ini". This file is searched in the
current directory, that is where the "elephant.exe" is.

Contents of elephant.ini:

; HashSize=1..1024 MByte
HashSize=16
; PawnHashSize=1..128 MByte
PawnHashSize=2

I hope that works. I think the new version can be downloaded soon.

Harald
