- Following up on Ted Parkinson's old message, I wonder if anyone else has
- seen the following happen:
- I had a couple of files loaded, running NB4 under Desqview with the
- old Herc. Mono card, so QEMM filled in the first 64K of video memory, giving
- me 632K for the window in which NB was loaded. The program, upon loading,
- took about 360K, leaving me with 270K, more or less. I spell checked one of
- the files, and found 137K left at that point and func me showed 108K for the
- dictionary. After loading a couple of other files, some parts of the first
- big one being swapped to the RAM disk, and unloading others, I loaded a large
- file (112K), which was from 3.1, so I was asked if I wanted to convert the
- PT deltas. Upon doing so, I then checked memory and found that I had more
- than I should, so I checked func me again, and found that the dictionary had
- been unloaded! It would be great (as far as I'm concerned) if the dict. would
- unload after a while if I'm not using it without my having to tell it to do so,
- but I expect it had something to do with that conversion program running, since
- it never unloaded before. Any comments?
-
- And now for something completely different: Will there be any other
- notabeneri at the AALS convention in SF this coming January? If so, contact
- me personally, and maybe we can get together at some point.
