Gary,
One advantage of using networks of the latest PC's as Keith hinted is
that PHAR-LAP is very flexible about swap space compared to UNIX
workstations. The INDIGO I am using to look at SOFTIMAGE and ALIAS
these days came formatted with only 40 meg of swap partition. In
order to make these two programs really run to thier full potential
I'm gonna have to back-up my 1.2 GIG drive and re-partion it, kissing
off 200 meg to permanent swap duty. This is system administrator and
GURU stuff, as an IRIX novice I'm not looking forward to
re-installing my system.
BTW, I could not help but notice that in very fine print on the 3DSr3
box it says " for MS-DOS ". Since r-1 and r-2 packaging had no
similar markings I assume that it is there to differentiate the
package from an upcoming version for something other than MS-DOS.
Care to illuminate and elaborate ?
Always looking for a scoop,
