     Actually it does.  Rt203 is a pascal heap overflow errror.  It
     means that pointers (for example) are being allocated but
     theres not enough memory to do it.  There are several types
     of memory in this cae.  Stack space which procedures use or
     say dos shells use to perform actions.  Programs allocate
     this space ahead of time.  But as a user you have to do it
     as well through your OS setups.  Things like config.sys,
     files= statements. etc.

     A good game like BRE needs 512k of free memory to work well but
     I've seen it go as low as 450k.  But your pushing it.  Depending
     on how long a user stays in the game and how many packets to
     process that'll have to increase.  

     So you say its not a memory problem.  How much do you have
     free them?  Extended XMS? and basic free ram?

     Not HD space.

        Oh which OS you running? :)
