How do I increase the heap memory available in rw0630. I am using windows 95 and windows 98. Peter B.
Peter, in this respect there no difference with the Unix version (look to the FAQ), i.e., R --vsize 10 gives you an heap of 10Mb.
Usually the problem is that people do not know how to do that in the Windows versions. The easiest way (and the only easy way on NT4 with rw0630) is to set up a shortcut to R.exe on the desktop or on the start menu, and put path\to\bin\R.exe --vsize 10 as the target. As I find both the default heap and the default cons cells too small, I have my shortcut with --vsize 6 --nsize 250000 That makes the process take about 14Mb, and on a 32Mb machine that is about as much as is comfortable without paging.
(ps) And, please, don't use numeric address.
Yes, we have made that point to him via the list before. Could Peter Mandeville please use a signature?
