I have a 1Mb Mac Plus that has been working fine up until two days ago when it suddenly experienced a loss of memory space. I can no longer load large programs like SuperPaint or Word because they complain about not enough memory. The amount of application heap space available after I have rebooted and only the Finder is running is about 100,000 bytes. On another identical system (of which the sick one was originally a direct copy) the same situation shows about 500,000 bytes available. My sick system had been working fine until, I believe, I tried to open an old MacDraft file with the latest version of MacDraft. At least, that was when I noticed it. I have checked all my files in the System folder to see if something has suddenly gotten much bigger (which has happened to me before) but nothing has changed. So, my question is: is there a utility that I can use to tell me what is installed in my memory, or how my memory space is being used? George Pavel Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory P.O.
