I think this the *most* asked MPW C++ question ever. Anyway, once and for all, until the next case: A) Use the -mf option that makes use of MultiFinder temp memory (-mf is good for Link and Lib as well). In the case of MacApp, edit the default settings in the Startup file inside the MacApp folder. Otherwise, edit your Makefiles for this flag. B) If that does not help, increase the MPW Shell app heap size until the error disappears, or you are running out of memory. 4-5Mb is normal for C++/MacApp programming, which consists of semi-large source code compilations. C) Don't use 3.1b1, that release is superseded by MPW 3.1 C++ final long time ago, and many bugs are fixed. E) If you have access to System 7, try running C++ with virtual memory; it's slower than using the real thing, but it might help with low memory configuration situations. D) If all this does not help, contact AT&T and ask them why they design software with the notion that every computer platform makes use of virtual memory, so one could allocate large memory structures in the middle of the parsing without worrying.
