That implies only 340K to the kernel. That person claimed SCO Xenix 2.2.1. I use SCO Xenix 2.2.1. My system has 2 megabytes of memory, and 1400K is available as my maximum user process size. So, why is my kernel fully twice the size of his? Jay Libove (libove@andrew.cmu.edu or libove@cs.cmu.edu) 5731 Centre Avenue, Apt 3 Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (412) 362-8983
