There was a quick fix for he problem, but I have forgotten that (sorry...) Basically what it boils down to is that in one format the program tries to allocate WAY more memory than it needs because it is reading a number wrong. (Cheesy explanation, but like I said: I'm no expert.) Anyone else remember the article I'm referrig to several weeks ago in alt.ascii-art? Hope this is of some use. Have a good one. Please ignore the following: My brain dead newsread thinks it is doing the newsnets a favor by not letting me post notes that have more included text than new text. As such I have to write empty useless stuff like this in order to get anything relevant posted.
