Speaking of memory usage, I downloaded POPCLI last night, and to me, this
is one of the most important programs to come along for the Amiga in the PD
area so far.
Earlier tonight, I tried opeing NEWCLIs with POPCLI, and got up to about 20
when I started getting the message 'NEWCLI failed, error code 20'. Well, I
was not able to do anything else from the base CLI without getting an
'insufficient memory error'. I was able to open 1 more CLI from another CLI
window, but after that, got 'too many tasks' error, as well as not being
able to do any ENDCLIs from any of the CLI windows. Removing the disk from
the external drive managed to free up enough storage. Running Frags after
every few NEWCLIs shows some fragmentation, but not enough to account for
the sudden limitation at 20 CLI windows, at which point (after 19) there
was a 128K chunk left. Wonder if the OS is restricting the number of
tasks…
Regards, Larry.
Yep, you found it. If you read the include files contained in the Lattice
C disk you'll find that the OS has been programmed, repeat, programmed to
accept 20 processes max. This probably can be changed..
Well, 20 is plenty for what I do now, but to limit it in an arbitrary way
goes against my grain, as well as against what the Amiga should be.
Processes should be limited by the number of bytes or resources available.
