In csh (maybe also in the other shells, but I use csh (well, actually tcsh 8-) )) there is command named limit. I'm not at my 386BSD computer now, so I'm not sure of the names, but do limit and look for things that may be called: stacksize, datasize, and memoryuse. Increase these values as wanted. -- Goran ------------------------------+--------------------------------- Goran Hammarback | goran@astro.uu.se Astronomiska Observatoriet | Uppsala Universitet | S-751 20 SWEDEN | ------------------------------+---------------------------------
