If any of you can explain to me what creature an unexpected heap

is, I'd appreciate it.

According to my colleague Robert Royar, who is a network genius, heap

is the allocatable memory pool that Unix uses. The error message came

from your home cite or whatever program you were going through at the remote

access, and it could mean "a corrupted memory pointer." In other

words, a program tried to access memory that it no longer owned. If

you were kicked out of mosaic entirely, then the error was on your

home computer.



Robert says hello.



Terry,
