I am sureĀ their are some people on here who worked on R83 Pick systems way back . My first taste of MV was helping port a PRIME based system to Pick R83 on a small ICL CLAN mini computer. I was fresh out of college where we worked on huge mainframe machines and when I first saw the ICL CLAN machine I thought it was an air-conditioning unit.Ā I was just reminiscing a bit on how efficient R83 was in terms of memory.Ā If I recall correctly each Pick port needed about 500k . This led me to ask myself how many D3/Linux ports I could comfortably run on my desktop PC which has 32 GB of RAM?Ā BTW I got into the Pick Multivalue arena, quite by accident and I'm still Picking away many years later. :)Ā

Hi Neil - I hope you mean 32GB of RAM, not 32MB of RAM? I wouldn't think any modern PC could cope with 32MB of RAMā¦
As to your question, I don't really know the answer, but I suspect you would be constrained by other limitations outside of RAM before it became an issue!

Martin,
I'm using a Wyse dumb terminal with 32MB of RAM and a serial connection to the server. Seriously though I meant 32GB. :(Ā
