I'm writing an application that needs to malloc about 1500K of memory
for a large tree. Does anyone know any tricks to let the BC++ heap see
extended memory?

Frankly, I'm dissapointed that I can't find the answer. One would
think by now that extended memory would be supported by this famous
compiler. I've raked through the docs and written a bunch of 10
liners, but that 640K limit seems a granite wall.
