Well yes, and you can Google the archives, however that is a little hard
- often the information is spread out.
a) giving users an option whether to create a maximum size DA or a
limited size DA with a configurable size
A few of my programs do this already - SparkFS, DPScan.
b) using WimpSlot memory on systems without the 28MB memory limit
Again there is an option for DPScan to do this. However Ovation Pro will
work better with two lots of memory - its wimp slot and its dynamic
area. It doesn't have to work this way - obviously on older machines it
has to use its wimp slot for everything.
The dynamic area is used for documents and the wimp slot for workspace,
you don't really want to shift 100MB of document just so that the
workspace can expand (and then 20ms later contract).
