OK, so I can't use faralloc() to allocate extended memory. I found a solution
to my problem of large arrays....with a MINOR (sarcasm) problem. I declared
my arrays as follows:
			float huge image[1024][1024]
			float huge psf[1024][1024]

The problem is when I write to any location in array image, the same location
in psf is written. This symptom is explained by looking at the addresses of 
the respective arrays, THEY'RE THE SAME!!! ie &image == &psf Why??? Is this
a compiler bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm new to object oriented 
programming. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Regards, Ajai.
