Mmm, you are right, in old squeak versions, there was a parameter
-memory: xx (xx inMB)
but I don't know if it is still in use.

BTW there must be some hanging references in memory and perhaps youd should
do some PointerFinder on it.
A very handy script I found (on Ramon Leon's blog or elsewhere I don't
remember) could help you.
You can try it in a workspace and see if it reduces your memory usage (after
save and quit)

Hi,

Should I to understand that the only way to enable more memory is to
recompile the VM? Does that mean that there is no way to pass this
information as a parameter like we can on Mac?

The problem is that I cannot recompile the VM because I have no access to a
Windows machine. Is there one available that provides more memory?

Cheers,
Doru
