I have a 386SX running MS-DOS 5.0, 4 megs of RAM, and a Microsoft 
C 6.0 compiler. I have an application where I have to allocate a large
number of data structs, and seem to be stopped by the 640K limit.  

Is there any method for extending the program addressing space beyond 
640K?

I've been messing with malloc, halloc and _falloc, all to no avail.  
Any suggestions?
