The Gnat gcc options may not have anything to do with this, but if I were to make an educated guess... Under Win32 you can "reserve" memory and "commit" memory whenever you allocate memory. The difference being that when you commit memory an actual chunk of mem is set aside, however, if it is reserved then no actual memory is allocated, the OS just takes note that you might need that much memory and actually allocates it as you request it...I think. :-) HTH Phil "Ook." --the Librarian - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
