Hi,
	I'm tring to write a LARGE MODEL C program which uses alot of memory
which it gets via malloc/calloc. I'm interested in anyone who has used the Link
option CP to reduce the amount of memory the program needs to load.

I'm not sure how it can help me but (using exehdr) when I reduced the 'max
paragraphs wanted' to 'min paragraghs needed' plus 0x20 I was able to
allocate more memory.

The manual states that with Link option of CP:1 will give me no near heap,
do I need any near heap in a large model program? and if not how can this
help me allocate more memory from the far heap?

			Thankyou
