Doesn't Win95 have a virtual memory system ? Chuckle.. Be reasonable folks. Just cause you don't like windows doesn't mean it'll magically allocate 10 times as much memory as the same code under unix.. Thanks for the laugh though.. needed it after this Monday's network problems :) One last thought: A lot of people on this list like to knock Windows.. Maybe you should look at the O/S you use .. namely unix for the most part.. What a mixed up bunch of command line utilities that aren't even the same between versions. I imagine you waste as much time remembering which version of unix you are using and which command line options do what on what machine as you'd waste waiting for MS's pretty pictures to show up .. Now I can't speak for you, but pictures are easier than words.. a lot of studies have been done on that subject... Now if you are just talking reliability, Unix blows windows away.. no disagreement there.. and that's the reason I run my mud on unix .. not windows.. but develop code on it? No thanks.. I'll keep the hair I have left. and I'll keep my MS development environment too. Thanks, Jeremy -- the conf.h setup for win32 has made my life much easier :) my two cents Gary - http://www.polarnet.com/Users/gbarnett/ - telnet:mud.polarnet.com (4000) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
