That's not a problem. Also, you might consider a 'virtual' heap.

You wrote 70% of the program, and *now* you discover that you can't
RAM 200k! Bummer!!! [grin]
Just what are you try'n to do?
BTW, I am currently working on a prog that manipulates files over a
megabyte in size. I have very little data in the heap, maybe a couple
of k in arrays. Processing is fast.
I was thinking about writing an editor. If I do, I will not use the
heap that much, either.
