Mike, I'm not familiar with the "heap expander with the right price." Am currently working with an app that I've pared to 270K disk image but then once the sucker loads, Katie bar the doors… I'm using Cscape and db_file for screen and file management. There are certain places that It would be nice to allow the user to do something without making them backtrack to where the system had freed up a bunch of memory. I'm at the point of going to 1) ovl's or 2) seperate executables with the performance penalty. Seems like a temporary expansion of the heap envelope would be ok. What's the name of the Heap Expander, and given my very sketchy spec, do you think it might help me? pat
