- I have read with great interest the discussions here on  STalker/STeno - 
- I have been seriously considering getting this package but have had one 
- reservation.  Since I only have 1 meg of memory, I was concerned about 
- having STeno loaded while running STalker and still have enough memory 
- for other applications after quitting telecommunciations.  
 
I have one meg on my STe.  I run about 200K worth of hard drive cache 
and NeoDesk installed, not to mention a few other little things.  
With STalker and STeno, I have about 100K free.  When I'm not doing 
telelcommunications, I reboot and change my configuration with 
Superboot.  Once I get two megs, I'll probably stop rebooting.  But 
even now, I have enough room to load programs like DC Xtract 2.0 and 
other utilities.

- Therefore, my question is: Do you need STeno to act as a capture 
- buffer when running STalker or does STalker have its own, built in
- capture??
 
STeno is the capture buffer; STalker does not have its own.  On the 
other hand, STalker does have an "ASCII Receive" feature which lets 
you save the incoming text directly to a text file.  Once you open 
it, it only closes the file after you tell it to or when there's no 
more space on the disk.
