In *nix (including OS X) doesn't Stata use virtual memory
as well as RAM? I recall doing this in Solaris and Linux.





If I have 4 gb installed on StataMP 11 on OS X 10.5.8, yet

-set memory 5g-

doesn't cause an error message. Neither does -set memory 50g-.

The manuals says it should but look at this (I don't have 50 gb of memory):

. set memory 50g

Current memory allocation
