Hi Steffen,

The 'not enough memory' message refers to a 64KB segement. That
program is 16-bit.

With VA C++ it just plain doesn't work. The .NDX file is too big for a
single segment.

I reported the problem to IBM about 6 months ago. It's still broken.
I'm thinking it would be quicker for me to write my own 32-bit
replacement program.

Regards

Dave
