Memory
BP2's
memory partition is sized to 4.5 Mbytes. This determines the maximum available
space for storing data generated by BP2. It requires this much to deal with
large examples like "-gr.ShapesInRhyth
m",
but it may be sized down to 1.5 Mbytes or less for small machines running small
projects.
There
is no limit to structures handled by BP2 (i.e. to the complexity of grammars
and produced items) save for the size of its RAM partition. However, it is
advisable to disable graphics when dealing with very large structures. Memory
overflow on graphic procedures might still cause the program to hang, so don't
forget to save data before producing sounds or graphics.
Before
BP2 runs short of memory it generally sends a warning that the current task
cannot be completed. It then releases some spared memory to save the current
work. Should this happen, quit the application and increase the application siz
e:
select the "BP2.9.3" icon and "Get info" in the Finder menu, then type the new
value.
