Yeah, there is this function in IDL called Multmem. It multiplies your
available core memory by N times, its not documented however. ;-p If that
doesnt work try the handy function Ziparr, which compresses your arrays.
No, but seriously. Limited resources are facts of life, you have to
live with it.  Don't expect the a programming language to manage excessive
demands on resources. Reduce memory usage by processing data on disk, or
work with only with a limited number of images at a time.
I must say, I'm also beginning to get curious. What was your name again?
kindly,
Ivo
