   You're in the Borland IDE, aren't you? :)
   Try running the following, once in the IDE, and then from
   the command line. Understandably, you would want to use
   type huge pointers under DOS and Borland for an allocation
   of this size, since it is greater than 64K, and the dread
   far pointer wrapping would rear it's ugly head.
   I hope this helps some...
