OK - 'flaky' was a bad choice of words here. Point taken. And yes, the replacement for the hasMemory function was actually just an afterthought. What I really was after is what the OS thinks is the amount of free non-virtual ram, for use in error reporting. Since all modern operating systems will happily dish out virtual memory and swap things around, I agree that seeing if you can allocate a block of memory of a given size is somewhat less useful. What might be more useful, though, is determining whether swap space is being used, which could have significant impact on program responsiveness. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
