I'm no great expert, but QuickBASIC is my base programing language. 
However, 
I have never had a problem of making too big of a program.  Have your
friend 
try to cut back on the program if he can.  
 
1. Perhaps store data in seperate files, to be accessed when needed.
 
2. Cut the program up into 2 or more parts. You can save the need varibles
in 
a data file, then use the SHELL command to run the other half. (very slow 
though, and it need memory.)
 
3. Try a different aproach to the problem. See if you can write a smaller 
program to do the same thing.
 
Good Luck, that's about the only advice I can give you. QB 4.5 does have
it's 
imitations.  I have been trying to get it to disable Control Break for
months 
now.  Let me know how it's going, if you are more specfic I may be able to 
offer you more help.
