Nov-27-01, 12:03 PM (EST) 1. "RE: dem-ex memory usage" DEM-EX does not cache to disk. Therefore, all actions are performed in RAM. Shelling out to DOS to check your memory is NOT the way to get an accurate measurement. That is like an astronaut stripping down naked to weigh, then saying that with all the gear on he only weighs 140 lbs.Do a general Web search using the term "cacheman" for your search term. Install it. It will report in your system tray how much RAM is availabe.DEM-EX is very memory intensive. Lawrence Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

For instance using a file splitter to chop the humongous xyz file down to a manageable size might break one of the lines in half, dem-ex will run out of memory in a hurry..
