No matter how much stuff you have in your System file (Fonts, DAs, etc.) none of it is memory resident if you don't use it. Only the fonts you are currently using are in memory. What Suitcase does is let you mess around with your fonts and DAs without having to touch the System file. Also it lets you add or remove Fonts and DAs just by asking it to open or close "suitcase" files. There too, these things are only memory resident when in use. /JBL UUCP: {backbone}!bbn!levin USPS: BBN Communications Corporation ARPA: levin@bbn.com 50 Moulton Street POTS: (617) 873-3463 Cambridge, MA 02238
