Are you saying that your code is that large? Wow! (how large is it?) If that's the case, then I don't know how to help! But would be very interested in your workaround! later, doug

The Softimage IPAS is about 211K. The Wavefront IPAS is about 100K. As I said, I don't think the dynamic memory requirements are extensive… maybe a couple megs. Uhm, Autodesk tech support… Can I hear a better explanation of memory use and constraints, as relating to IPAS? When they malloc(), whose memory pool does it come from, and what are maxreal and minreal really doing in cfig386? Are there any words of advice about memory use (ex., frequent realloc() causes fragmentation and page faults) from the Yost Group?
