If you have one, you can start your program, give it a real good workout (open lots of windows, manipulate lots of data, etc.) and then call up the debugger. If you have a heap fragmentation problem (esp. if you have unrelocatable blocks of length $100 floating around near the middle of the heap,) you should try calling MoreMasters() a couple more times in your initialization. -Sho (sho@tybalt.caltech.edu, sho@caltech.bitnet, ...!cit-vax!tybalt!sho)
