I suspect the fault is in the size of the data in the buffer variable,
causing the choke. This is an issue as the program I am writing must be
able to run on machines with many different memory configurations and
sizes.

About 104Mb on that partition.

Robert Craig wrote in a message that characters are stored as integers (4
bytes each, not 1 as in C++) so the 1.9meg of characters in the file uses
7.6meg of memory to store. with only 8.7meg free in this configuration
it is pushing the edge of the memory available. A lot of the people who
will use my Freeware program are running with 4 to 8meg of total memory
and this is an issue.
One of the reasons I was looking at Euphoria was its dynamic memory
management, so I did not have to mess with the memory checking and
allocation issues with very large data files. Oh, well I guess I'll
unzip the C++ compiler and get to work. Maybe I can find some good memory
management code in Snippets to plagiarize.
Have a great day!
