When I try to start up tin it says "out of memory" and falls over.
I usually use trn but it's ages since I looked at tin so I'd like
to get it working if possible. The problem is probably caused by
my active file which is ~6500 lines long, we have a *full* feed
here!

Is there a parameter somewhere within the kernel that I can tweak
to increase the memory limit? I have looked but can't see anything
obvious.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, could this possibly be a
problem with tin? I don't think this is the case cos the same
version of tin works on the same size history file on SCO.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Regards,

Mark.
