- It looks as though I may be being a little harsh saying that MiNT/Outside
- doesn't work. I'm told that people are happily using it. However, the only
- people who are using it have already got more than my meagre 4Mb of RAM. If
- you have more than this, then you may have no problems.

- Hmm - not true I'm afraid. I'm using that too, Uwe was kind enough to send
- me a copy through email. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. I think
- that basically Outside will work if you have enough memory not to want to use
- it anyway :-)) Seriously, I think it needs more than the 4Mb you get in a
- standard Falcon. This is just for using it under MiNT (and mainly with Gcc,
- although tcsh gave me the same problem running mkwhatis last night :-(
-
- I even tried recompiling Gcc with the malloc() call rather than alloca() in
- case
- it was the stack allocation that was causing problems (since so much other
- stuff works ok). Still the same result. The problem stems from the fact that I
- have to leave 2Mb of my 4Mb as ST ram --> only 2Mb for Outside to page in and
- out of. I suppose it's possible that it's having problems when something needs
- more than 2Mb or RAM to work with...
-
- I have to say that I'm pleased with Outside under Gem. The majority of
- programs work fine then. But as I say, the main reason I bought it was to use
- C++ ...
-
- Maybe in a few months (frustrating) time I'll have a go at incorporating the
- atari Linux VMM system into MiNT.
