"insufficient memory" message when trying to load draw4

[Maurice Geue]

Thanks for the suggestion Brian, - I tried that but unfortunately still no
success so maybe an uninstall and re-install may be worth a try.

OK Brian - further to this issue - I decided to manually reconfigure the 386.swp
file to twice that of the ram in my system ( now 140mb) and stopped Windows from
automatically adjusting it - and the problem is no longer there, so this worked
for my system, but I`m about to see if this fix will create ather problems - so
far it`s ok. Later I may install my version 5 anyway, as it has more features -
regards - Maurice.
