Hmm.. Well, I use TLINK and I checked the command line parameters, but it
didn't seem to have anything about how much you want allocated to your

I looked in my BC++ Users Guide in the TLINK section, but it didn't have

Oh and BTW, why did you reply as Netmail?  Oh wait, were you banned from the
echo or something?
Thanks!
Sam
