No, I'm allocating it, but if you are refering to using "lock_memory" that
appears to for the DOS32 platform. The only time it seems to be necessary
to allocate memory is when I retrieve the command line parameters. And the
code is as follows.

>atom array_ad, array_len
>sequence free_stuff
>free_stuff = {}

>procedure handle_comm_line()

>integer len

Like I've said before this is a very mysterious problem.

One other thing that I forgot to mention that you will need is Euphoria
2.1, since
it uses multiple callbacks.
