Hi Kyle,

Thanks for the great review in "Reign of Toads".

We use:

executor -memory 12m -photo

and that seems to work (1.99p5).

Strange.  Sometimes programs get confused when they run out of memory
(especially since it is possible that a program will run out of memory
under Executor when they wouldn't on a similarly configured Mac) and
then wind up giving bogus error messages.  I'd try "-memory 12m" and
see if that does it (don't worry about adjusting the System Zone).  If
it doesn't, perhaps someone on this list can comment publicly if
she/he has run into similar problems and found a work around.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  I expected someone else on this list
to help out.  At least I'm down to 20 pending e-mail messages from
around 250.
