> Description of problem:
> 
> I contacted you a week or two ago about a problem I am having with the
> drawing tool. While drawing shapes my radar data will disappear and the
> cursor turns into a grey rotating circle. I improved the performance
> a little by editing my runidv from 1024m to 1536 I have 2GB of RAM.
> The problem has returned. What I am doing is taking VILS and drawing
> shapes around all cells with 50g/kg or more. I will sometimes draw 70-80
> shapes at a time all with an average area of 20-25 square miles. The
> radar files will average 70-100 files. So I believe I am dealing with
> a memory issue.
> 
> My question is speed is not the essence of my project, accuracy is. Can
> I use my harddrive in place of my memory to do my drawing tool work?
