Hi Cole,
I don't know whether any one replied to your complaints.
Dennis W. set the max. number of BOS banks to 1000
(Why so many?) and (exceptionally) he did it in the right
order. (cf. gsim_bos.c)

Are you really using the tagged (release-1-16) version 1.2
of gsim_bos.c ?

The problem of unsuff. memory space is not a problem of
BOS but the way how it is implemented.

Good luck
Franz

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
congratulations! unfortunately all the complaints
about BOS I heard about were simply due to improper
use of BOS (overwriting memory space, improper
bank dropping/garbage collection, etc.)
