And I get defensive about people who think that a pool should get some specific Size (and only that size), so I leapt to a conclusion and answered accordingly. The compiler requests all of the memory IT needs, but if the pool needs some additional memory for it's purposes (pretty common), it will need to add that space itself. It's hard to imagine how it could be otherwise, I guess I would have thought that goes without saying. (And that rather proves that there is nothing that goes without saying.) Randy.
