Thanks to

Randy J. Parker
foster@bial1.ucsd.

Most people recomended the 'ipcs' command and this provided the basic info
I needed.

Randy Parker also recommened 'memtool' which I have down loaded but have not
had a chance to test or install.
        memtool is avaialable at:
                http://playground.sun.com/pub/memtool/

Randy also gave me a good reference
        See Adrian's article in the March '98 SunWorld Online
