Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / January 2006Adding Memory to MT-NW in X.4
Once in a while, when I'm manually extracting binaries (because parts are missing and I want the par files to fix them), I'll get a message that NW is short of memory and I should add more. But from what Robin Williams tells me in her book, the Mac does this better than I cold ever hope to do, and I do not have the option to change the way the IBM Brain allocates memory. Is this true? What is the recommended action upon receiving this message. I've been shutting down MT-NW and then re-booting the Mac. Anything less intrusive available to me? Thanx.

How much RAM in the Mac, and how much free disk space?

If you create a new user account, does the problem follow or not? djb SignatureBoycott Google for their support of communist censorship and repression! > Once in a while, when I'm manually extracting binaries (because parts > are missing and I want the par files to fix them), I'll get a message [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > H. Are you running MT-Newswatcher 3.4, or an older version that runs under Classic? An older version running under Classic would still be subject to the Mac OS 9 application memory allocation rules. MT-Newswatcher 3.4 should not care, as it can just keep asking the operating system for more virtual memory. All of this is just speculation on my part, which is why I'm asking what version of MT-Newswatcher you are running. Bob Harris No, it is 3.4 alright. I do know that if I shut down MT- NW it seems to be OK for a while, but something seems to fill up and when I use the "Extract Binaries Manually" feature I have to re-start relatively frequently. I guess I just have to live with it. Not much of a problem, considering how much I like MT-NW,; I was just hoping for a cheap fix. Thanks for the help.
