Could anyone point me out how to malloc() or fread() blocks
larger than 64KB? We are doing picture processing on >80MB
pictures here, and it is extremely painful not to be able
to read large chunks of the picture into memory. I could not
find any documentation on this subject in TC++- nor DOS books,
so I tried but all I get when malloc()ing or fread()ing large
blocks is errors. Anyone out there to know something
definite on this subject?

Thanks,

		Volker
