- This is only actually true under System 7.x (or System 6.x with
- Multifinder); Under System 6 with the normal Finder (which is
- essentially what Executor emulates), all Mac memory not used by the core
- System is automatically given to the application (which makes sense
- since it's the only thing running).

- Executor _should_ pick up all available memory (less that used by
- SmartDrive etc.) automatically, but there are command line switches that
- allow you to tweak the way Executor uses memory somewhat. Try running
