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.
