hi ng!

my question concerns the way IDL allocates memory (both real memory -RAM-
and swap area)... is it possible to tell IDL to use more swap memory than
physical?

background: i have to calculate the FFT of an 3D array which is pretty large
(about 190 MB). IDL stops the procedure with the following error message:

unable to allocate memory: to make array

specifications of the system:
IDL 5.3 on UNIX, available RAM: 949 MB, free RAM: 457 MB, free swap: 2292 MB

thanks, stefan
