The step from 16 to 32 Bit may be right, but I have my own problems with
that. When receiving about 60 KB ore more my 8 MB machine starts trashing.
The new Mosaic requires much more memory than the 16 Bit versions.

Do all other users of Mosaic have 16 MB RAM in their boxes or am I doing
anything wrong?

I remember Bill Gates claiming NT being POSIX compatible and
something like a 'better UNIX...'

Get nntpd-1511A.tar.Z from your ftp server and try to compile it.

If it doesn't work have a look at Linux (or another free UNIX
implementation), I think it will run on your PC hardware after
removing NT. Then build the nntp server package.

I have WFW 3.11 with the 32-bit extensions and the 16 bit Diamond Stealth
with 1mb of ram and I have no troubles at all with with Mosaic at
high resolution.

Not being too picky, but that's *thrashing*. I have, however, been
inclined several times to consider it trashing.

Actually I have 64MB, but then again I always did overdo things. No,
you're not doing anything wrong. I do know that Win32s likes swapfiles.
Big ones. I run a temporary swap file on a 16MB RAM disk. It actually
works better then running with none at all (magnetic or otherwise).

This IS interesting!! I finally came to the conclusion that a great deal of
the instability I'd experienced with Mosaic was actually the fault of Lview31.
Recently, I was download some images with WS_FTP - which has ALWAYS
been rock solid for me - and viewing them with Lview31 as they came in, and
after several images I got a "Mosaic-like" crash. Since then I have switched
to WinJPEG as a viewer and I have had almost no crashes with Mosaic!
I agree... Keep at it NCSA!
