I claim that if I tweak it correctly, I should be able to do things and not have it page at all, if I'm the only person logged in [which has so far been the case]. No funny servers are running; just OPCOM and ERRFMT and me. Yet I rack up page faults at a respectable rate. My process working set is plenty big enough to do what I've been doing. I would think that my process, the few others laying around, and the system image should easily all fit into 12 meg. Am I right in assuming that there is a way to completely eliminate paging, given ideal conditions [like lots of physical memory]? If so, what are some example things I can do in SYSGEN to make it happen? Aside: If you have just disconnected from a virtual terminal, and you had set your UIC to something different for that process, you must set your UIC to that other one when you log in again before you can connect to the VT. It doesn't matter how many *privs* you have turned on, your UIC must match. Just something I found out while wondering where this random ss$_nopriv came from... _H* -------
