Sorry to bother people with this problem if it hase been asked before Is it possible to extend the heapspace of Turbo Ver 5.0 to include extended memory already installed in my computer. The manuals offer no instruction on this problem. Cheers Ciarain.

You extend the heap in a roundabout way: put part of the program in EMS overlays. This frees up memory below the 640k boundary, which in turn leaves more available for the heap. Of course, if your program is small andd you have a LOT of data, this won't work. Swapping heap data to a ram-disk with blockread might then be the answer.
