You are obviously not a computer scientist, because if you were you'd be so genned up on multiply-linked lists etc. that you would probably not hit this problem :-) TS3 has got a limit of 64K (approx) data per module IIRC, or 64K (approx) per data structure on the heap (RTFM). What _exactly_ are you trying to do? If the problem is not so much that you need large data elements but simply a lot of storage space, your choices are (i) run a decent OS (OS/2 or possibly Windows) that will support larger programs (ii) use expanded memory (iii) use the TopSpeed DOS extender. Note that the above would be my order of preference. I _may_ have some EMS demo code that would be of use to you, but this obviously limits a data structure to 16K.
