I had the same problem - some help can be had be making a shell with a bigger stack 'chmem =64000 ....'. It still doesn't help much though. Seems to me that the shell must be making a local copy of the input file so that it can find the end-of-file given in the << bit of the command. It must also be making it in the heap!!! Anyone with more knowledge than I care to comment?? As a 'by the way' would it be too much to ask that shar's distributted on the nett actually be usable on MINIX systems (not all of us have access to a real UNIX). A case in point was tthe new commands archive sent recently (fix, du ettc.) which not only needed SED but wouldn't fit in the shell even when I edited all SED's to appropriate GRES commands. Or have I missed something obvious ??? Nigel
