There's some memory overhead on every sequence, (to
keep track of the length, the reference count etc)., so
multi-dimensional things will use a bit more memory,
but I think your main problem is the 640K of memory.
Euphoria will run small programs in 640K, but if you
start creating large sequences you will quickly force
Euphoria into using swap space, and you'll probably
run out of (virtual) memory completely before long.
I think Euphoria (ex.exe including DOS extender)
needs almost 500K to run, before even
loading your program. That leaves you with precious little
physical memory to work with.
