Hi!
 BM> Ah... I found the important information in "PC Interrupts": .COM
 BM> programs are initially allocated the largest available memory block,
 BM> and should free some memory with function 49h before attempting any
 BM> allocations. Does that help?
Err, no! :)  Well, that would've helped a few weeks ago.  I already asked 
questions about .COMs and memory allocation, and got that response =) I found 
out from someone else that in .EXEs I should specify how much memory my 
program needs with a linker parameter or something, but TLINK doesn't seem to 
have anything.
Thanks anyway!
Sam
