Curiosity: mold system in /Core versus /View
[1/5] from: gjones05::mail::orion::org at: 17-Apr-2001 13:41
Now we can do the following in /Core 2.5:
write %system.txt mold system
in order to look at the mezzanine source code. Why does this same function
not work in /View?
Just curious.

I just got done doing just that...works fer me...
write %system.txt mold system
unless i'm missing something...got a system.txt file that has about 1.5
megs of text data from the system

VID faces are fairly complex and include cyclic references,
so the print function is probably stuck in a loop.

Aha, so I was not being patient! So I tried being very patient this time,
and here is what happened in full:

I have a 128 mb 500 mhz (de)Celeron with Win98. Am I really running out of
memory? (my machine, that is, for me, running out of memory has already
been established! ;)
Thanks for the feedback, Alan.

After reading Alan's explanation and getting the out of memory result, then
I dusted off my handy-dandy Windows Resource Meter. System resources dropped
very little through the run, so I assume it is some sort of internal buffer
that gets used up. Thanks.
