Syltrem, UTILITIES, Determine Global Pages and Sections Requirements I have written a DCL procedure to know how much free global pages/sections are required for installing a program in shared memory. It supports both Alpha and VAX. I believe it can be useful to others as it is to me from time to time. Maybe it could be included in the next release of the freeware CD.
