Hi Larry

This is a new one on me. Euphoria is supposed to create a swap file on your
hard drive when demands for memory are more than what you have available. I
am not sure that it is a problem with main memory because if you look at my
system memory below, you can see I am operating with less memory than you
are, yet have written some programs that involve heavy graphics and a lot
of file I/O. How much FREE hard drive space do you have available on your
hard drive? I find the more free space I have on the hard drive, the more I
can push the memory envelope.

Memory Summary:
