I apologize in advance to those for who this wuestion may be too stupid. Running R 0.091 on Windows 95 (a very old machine I'm afraid 486-66 16M) When constructing a big matrix I get: Error: heap memory (6144 Kb) exhausted [needed 7087 Kb more] See "help(Memory)" on how to increase the heap size. Help(Memory) tells me I must: (Quote) Use command line options to set the memory available for R. Usage R --vsize v --nsize n Simple, isn't it?? Since I am new to R and I do not know what is or how to access the "command line options" I looked for that using apropos and the windows help and even tried to search old communications in the list, all with no success. The closest I could find is options(), but it won't accept any "R --" nor it does have any "vsize" value. Trying any similar combination directly on the command line gives nothing too. I know you guys will give me this simple answer in 10 seconds, I would prefer to find a more clear help and not to use this list, which I am sure is intended to better discussions. Thank you.

Dear Alex, At 11:16 AM 1/6/2000 -0500, you wrote:> >Use command line options to set the memory available for R. > >Usage > >R --vsize v --nsize n > >Simple, isn't it?? > >Since I am new to R and I do not know what is or how to access the "command >line options"One way to do this is as follows: Make a shortcut for Rgui.exe (e.g., on your desktop). Right-click the shortcut and select Properties. Go to the Shortcut tab; the Target field should contain something like C:\rw0901\bin\Rgui.exe. Add --vsize v --nsize n to this line, where v and n are your memory specifications.>From the R FAQ, "Boths options must either be integers or integers ending with M, K, or k meaning `Mega' (2^20), (computer) `Kilo' (2^10), or regular `kilo' (1000)."I hope that this helps, John |----------------------------------------------------| | John Fox jfox at McMaster.ca | | Department of Sociology McMaster University | |----------------------------------------------------| -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
