     How much ram do you actually have ?
     I have also had IBM Works give me a Memory Error error message when
     importing a jpg file. Could this just be a works problem ?
     I have noticed memwatch reports changes in the memory allocation, it has
     varied up to 10 - 12mb ram free after running big things like netscape.
     Then while running things memory can drop to 512kb free, I thought I
     should have at least 16mb free with nothing running(except warp), maybe
     warp doesn't work this way !?!
     Thesues is pretty comprehensive !?!
     on a tangent - does Escape GL ever cause you any problems ?
     I'm sure it conflicted with Trials of Battle on my system. Though I
     was only running the version which came with the Application Sampler.
     Thanks
     Glenn.
