'> How can you, using XMS, EMS, or any other memory system, get more
'> space for arrays, strings, integers, ect?

'I've got some code I converted from a C program...

'The trouble with QB is you don't have to ability to PEEK/POKE blocks at a
'time,or the ability to create a pointer to a block of memory (like C)... So
'you have to use indiviual PEEK and POKE statements.

'But anyway, here it is:
