Peter, I will give it a try on a few systems here. Thanks! Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Peter W.

Hi Steve, "ash" and "ksh" seem to work under Linux: % ash starjava_archive % ksh starjava_archive still get big (200Mb+), but you don't see the sub-shell memory issue that Bash has. Perhaps someone with a less well configured machine should try this before it becomes standard advice. Ash is a Bourne Shell (like the scripts) so we should probably recommend that for best compatibility. Peter.
