#PxS Memory Drain
Message #28673

Yes there is a Fortran complier called A/C Fortran haven't used, Go Amigo sells it for $199.00, 1-800-BE-AMIGA they are also on Compuserve. Richard
I don't know if there is a way to de-frag memory to free up more, I know a sure way is to buy more memory (expensive), buying more memory gives you more fast memory, I am sorry I can't be more help, I have 1.5 megs and seems to run…
You are probably doing nothing wrong, what Pixelscript probably wants is contigous memory, you may have 725k avail but maybe 400k maybe contigous, because the Amiga fragments memory there might not be enough contigous memory left, maybe you could try not loading Workbench, try hitting ctrl d just as the…

Which controller do you suggest for the 225 seagate dre I believe this is not a SCSI Drive. Richard

Yes, thanks you your input. Richard Barron
Yes, reading everyones suggestion does help alot. thanks very much. Richard Barron
The Unit number is 1, reversing the order worked the 3.5 drive is df2: and the 5.25 drive is df1: this arrangement works so far ok. Thank You for your input. Richard Barron
