You probably have too much hashtables in all the programs, one of the first things I have to do when I download a Winboard program is look in the initiation file (cfg, ini, init, rc, something like that) and see how much is asked for. Because if that program wants 32mb hashtable, and then some more for the pawn hashtable, then some more for some other odd thing, then I have to cut it _way_ back, because I only have 40mb memory, and a big chunk of that is used by the very gready Windows gui itself. So to be honest, I can't give a program more than about 10mb for hashtables believe it or not. Sometimes the Dos Comet will use approx 14 mb hash when run from Windows, and since the Dos Comet uses whatever memory it has available to it at the moment, that 14 mb give you a rough idea of what _I_ have available out of my total of 40mb memory (after Windows sucks the life out of it) Pete
