Someone I know is having problems with a "large" program in QB.  He has 
8mb of memory and is using Windows 3.1 over DOS 5.0.  When he fires up QB
within Windows, he can neither run his program nor can he compile it.     
If he fires up QB outside of Windows, his program will run but he still 
cannot compile it.    Any solutions?   BTW he also has VB; can one compile
QB programs in it?  (I thought that perhaps VB might use expanded memory
and allow larger programs).   

If possible reply by email.   Thanks - Carl Riehm.
