Well... first of all, the "Write Boot Blocks" comamnd in SUM Tools is
deceiving... it writes the DEFAULT boot blockls out to disk (If I
remember the news release... apologies if I am blatantly wrong...)

Second, there are a number of utilities out there that allow you to
alter the System Heap size.  Unfortunately, the only ones I can
remember are from CE Software... Heap Fixer and Widgets.  They both
allow you to alter your heap size.

I have a Mac Plus with 2.5 Megs.  My system occupies about 1200k of
memory for the 24 Inits taht I allow to run (I have another 12
disabled), and I am also running a  RAM Cache and a Cache for ATM.  I
have about 10% of free space in my system and it has finally stopped
hanging and crashing... 25% seems a BIT steep, don't you think?
