I'm fairly inexperienced with modula2, and currently , I am writing a program
where I need to read a data file larger than 64k into memory.  I have tried to
find out how to allocate extra 64k blocks of memory (as the heap space isn't
enough), but I cannot work out how.  Ideally I need about another 5-6 64k
blocks of memory.  I use Topspeed Modula-2 V3.??.
Secondly, does anyone know how I can use multiple pages of video memory (4
pages) in 320x200x256 mode.
