Oops, sorry...
There are some 32-bit compilers for DOS out there: Watcom for one.
You can compile flat-model code for DOS. The "virtual" heap is a
replacement for "new" and "delete" that makes use of XMS, EMS, or
disk space to store large amounts of data. Mind you, any one array is
still limited to 65K. But, if you are creating nodes under this size,
that that's not a problem.

Design, design, DESIGN, my friend. Always plan your attack, and
you'll never get caught with your pointers down. [grin]
TH>Just what are you try'n to do?
MH>Trying to read in nodelist.*
???
How do you *read-in* a node list? Nodes are the stuff heaps are made
of. Are you reading a file and creating a linked list? This file
"nodelist"... what's in it?
