Hm. My anonymous secretary appears to have beaten me to it again, but 1k (1024) * 1k = 1M; 1M *1k = 1G. The -1 seeks to a position just before the end of 1GB. The print`chr(0);` forces the allocation of the memory as a single large chunk that will be returned to the OS on release. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. RIP an inspiration; A true Folk's Guy	[reply] [d/l]
