I use two libraries Overlay for Blinker and the Exospace version
OverClx, you can use these to specify memory.  As an example, this would
be it calling PKZIP.
OverLay("pkzip archive file",0,"","")
I forget what the empty strings are off hand, but the 0 tells overlay to
release maximum memory to pkzip.
Yours sincerely,
