- #However, I could love pspro only if I had tons of system
- #memory ... this program is a memory hog! (sorry, Denise) With 2Mb RAM,
- #all memory-resident programs disabled, and all the other windows
- #applications (groups) closed, I could still barely run pspro: yes, some small
- #gif/bmp/etc files were displayed but I could not do anything beyond
- #that (e.g. mirror, rotate, etc). Whenever I tried to do
- #mirror/rotate/etc, I got the message "system memory is not enough" (it
- #did tell me how mcuh more memory I need, which is a nice feature).

- I'm only running 2 meg RAM and I've had no problems at all with
- Paint Shop Pro. It's fantastic and really fast (especially compared
- with some of the JPEG windows viewers I've seen).
-
- #Futhermore, once when I tried to display a ~600K gif file, I was
- #out of memory ... this program asked for 700K+ system memory!
- #(at least I can use WinGIF to view this ~600K gif file!)
-
- I've loaded 560KB gifs with no problems at all. Where'd you get a
- 600K gif? The one I have is humongous!
-
-
- My only complaint is that PSP doesn't support JPEG images too!
- Then it would truly be "all you'd ever need."
