Re: [ferret_users] .ferret and memory increase

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Serena,
We have a fix for this, which will be in the upcoming release of Ferret v6.2. 

Note that another means of starting Ferret with a new memory setting is to use the -memsize startup switch

   > ferret -memsize 1500

yes, It works when I open a ferret session without my newly created .ferret
But when I put the set memory/size=XXXX in .ferret  and open a new ferret session I have this strange infinite loop, whatever the value of XXXX...

A megaword is 4 megabytes, so 1500 megawords is 60 Gigabytes.  Is this what you are intending?

Dear ferreters,

I would like to increase memory every time I start Ferret. In the doc we can read "To increase memory every time you start Ferret, add a SET MEMORY/SIZE=   command to your .ferret startup file"

I created a .ferret file that I put in my home directory:
cancel mode verify
message/continue *********************************

set memory/size=1500

message/continue *********************************
set mode verify


Here is what I get :

        NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6.1
        Linux(g77) 2.6.9-22. - 03/26/08
