Hi Alice,

I just checked NEPTUNE with free -m, it gave

����������� � � � � � � � � � �� �� total������ used������ free���� shared��� buffers���� cached
Mem:������ � � � � � � ��� 128996���� 127064������ 1932��������� 0������� 460���� 111483
-/+ buffers/cache:��� � � � �� � � � � � 15119���� 113876
Swap:���� � � � � � � � � � ��� 44155��������� 0����� 44154
I believe the used 113876 MB in "-/+ buffers/cache" is available for allocation when an application like "IDL"� tries to allocate more
than what is "free". It should work if CF allows single users to use the server's full capability.
