Does anyone know of ->a way to disable this 'feechur'? first of all, i meant to have a "?" after "(and zeroed" because i just wasn't *quite* sure. when your program starts, all .data stuff is initialized to zero, though. i think some programs use this fact, eventhough it is not portable (but then again, why make any GEM program portable :^). short of patching Mshrink, i don't know how to disable this, as you put it, 'feechur'. actually, i like the fact that i'll always get space filled with zeros. -bill
