Newsgroups: comp.sys.m6809,comp.os.os9 Subject: os9 level 2 woes! Message-ID: <8808172042.AA01032@decwrl.dec.com> Date: 17 Aug 88 20:42:30 GMT Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 20 I recently outfitted myself with a 128K CoCo III,2 floppy drives, and OS9 level 2(version 02.00.01).I've been having some difficulty getting some extra memory space.I noticed that when the shell is linked at startup,19 extra command modules are also loaded into RAM.I wanted to get rid of some of these because I don't use them enough to justify the space.At this point, mfree showed 48K. I used the level 1 save command to save just the shell module, and put it in my cmds directory.Now everything boots alright and the shell works alright,but I ended up losing memory instead of gaining it.I only have 40K now.It seems like OS9 is still assigning the memory that old shell command(shell+19 modules) required.aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! Is there an easier way to get rid of some of these modules? Where did the memory go?Help! Vern
