Thanks- I tried the newer version of MrEd today; I don't know if it crossed
the 256 Mb limit or not (I didn't have time to watch the task manager
readout), but it ran a simulation of the same size as the ones that had made
it crash before. I'll try it some more this week and see if I can tell for
sure if it can go over 256 Mb. It also seemed to run faster, but I can't
tell for sure- I left it sitting and expected it to still be running when I
came back, but it had already finished.

Again, thanks,
John
