>After having a long fight with TC 2.0 about allocating a block of memory >128K long, and just about chucking the damned thing out of the window, This may seem obvious, but if you're problem is an "out of memory" error message maybe you really are out of memory. Try compiling to an executable, leaving the integrated environment, and then running the executable. -- jim jharkins@sagpd1 We are all aware of the high cost of alcohol abuse.
