Allan,

    I use an editor on my ST which used to handle files larger than
available memory.  It used to work on tos 1.0, the other day I was
editing something that was larger than available memory with tos 1.4
and my system hung, and printed a three line message at the top of
the screen telling me about memory problems, and I should use 
foldrxxx.prg.  Is this message possibly coming out TOS?  I kind of
get the impression it is.  If so, is this the bug you are fixing
with your patch, and if so, is it really necessary to still use 
foldrxxx.prg even with tos 1.4?

thanks
