an idl_opserver-like option for IDL 8.0? [message #73303]

Is anyone aware of a way to get IDL 8.0 to use a secondary routine
like the idl_opserver.exe of 7.0? My problem is this:

On a Windows XP SP2 machine, 2GB memory, in IDL 7.0 I could make and
use reasonably large arrays - say,
a=fltarr(512,512,1200). This used about 1 GB worth of memory.

In IDL 8.0, I'm stuck with arrays with a max of about 500 MB memory
before the good old "unable to allocate memory" message pops up. And
this is after following the suggestion in Tech Tip 4603. Before that,
I couldn't even get 200 MB reliably.

In any case, does anyone know of a workaround here? I'd like to try
the new graphics features of 8.0, when possible...

Thanks,

-Doug
