One other note:  Arrays are ALWAYS dynamic in the QBX environment,
regardless of the REM $STATIC or REM $DYNAMIC statements.  As the
name implies, these statements are compiler directives.  QBX will
completely ignore them.

Also, if anything, /Ah will make your executable larger, and leave you
with less memory than before.  This is because additional instructions
are required to implement huge pointer arithmetic (which is what /Ah
does - it allows huge arrays).
