it is an outside possibility that zView can allow for an observable
problem currently experienced with memory allocation. At one point
before I figure out how to manage it (there are a couple of ways to
use zView that help limit its impact on memory) I could loose 64Megs
of fast ram on ARAnyM after only 3 starts of zView

It may however be related to the windom/ldg image handling, in which
case it6 should probably be fixed quick quick, which is a good thing..

I have never given out the zView link until now, except in some
comments related to doing an update of AFROS, now seemed like a good
time..

Gave me (and others) some thoroughly hot ideas for a third party file
browser plug for Teradesk/Desktops, which lead to the resurrection of
an updated Icon Server protocol.

Yes, rather inspirational :)
