Something in C would be especially useful. What I'm looking at doing is the following: I would like an allocator that managed disk and memory, so I could allocate more than I had room for (for machines with limited address space) and have the allocator and associated routines move things off to disk if I am not using them, garbage collect some space, and bring in the item I want from disk. Basically software VM. References to such a beast would be GREATLY appreciated, but I'll be happy with just stuff on garbage collection. Thanks, Terry Poot Nathan D.
