As I sit here at work, watching a program I have written consume memory at the rate of 100k/sec, it strikes me that a mere 15 years ago, I was writing programs which fit into just 16k of RAM *including* variable space... How times change... I guess I was lucky (?) to miss the really early days when a few hundred bytes were all that was available... Ah, nostalgia! -- Cheers, Ade.
