Thanks to everyone who sent me help. I found a 4 meg core file and pared down my swapfile substantially (perhaps too substantially, but that's another post.) I'm now back in the game thanks to all of you. Your servant, Steve Kramarsky. Also try creating a directory called /cores I think that when you get core dumps, they are put in that directory. Seems to work for me. That way you know where to look for core dumps to periodically delete. =============================================================================== Internet: simmons@rigel.neep.wisc.edu Othernet: simmons@hoofers.lake.mendota According to the HitchHikers guide to the galaxy, the one thing we *cannot* afford to have is a sense of perspective. ===============================================================================
