Richard, There is a program floating around called 'frags' which will show the actual sizes of pieces of memory. I'm not sure where it is in LIBs. I find this useful mostly to see what MY programs have done to memory, but you might find it instructive.

Vic, Thanks. Isn't there also a program to de-frag memory that a program has left in a fragmented state? BTW hows OC? I kinda miss Irvine at times. Though not for long! 8] Rich

Richard, while I know of no program to defrag memory, if you use "Avail Flush", it will remove all currently unused libraries and device modules. Brian ->on AutoPilot

Brian, Avail Flush, huh. I obviously have not kept up with my AmigaDos commands. 8) Rich

Richard, memory is de-fragged as it's returned from programs. There is no way to coalesce the pieces because there is no assurance that you can find all the pointers to the parts that are not free. OC is find (hot right now) and still has too d*mn many people (I can't wait to move to Wyoming).

Vic: When are you moving to Wyoming? We need all the Amigoids we can get here! 🙂 Wayne Steele Saving $ with AutoPilot

Wayne, It will be at _least_ next June. I'm still hoping to get up there around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll certainly keep you informed.

Vic, Wyoming, huh? Yippi yo ki yay! Well, it won't be like driving behind slow moving Hondas, Nissans, and Toyotas on Culver Drive! Rich
