Hi, I'm new to the SUN/Unix world...I have a problem that is frustrating
for me, but may be easy for you gurus out there to solve!!!

I have a SUN Sparc 2 with 64Mb of memory (189Mb swap). When I try to run a
particular program the computer says "Not enough memory".

Performing a "size" on the executable returned the following summary:

text    data    bss             total bytes
385024  106496  417279992       417771512 (407Mb)

The program does not make any mallocs so this is it.

What do I have to do to get this program to run?  Do I
need to tweek something in the kernal? Do I need to add more memory?
If so, how much and how do I determine how much? What should I do???

My call to SUN has yet to be answered.

Please email or post your responses.  Thanks in advance!
