I have been using LightSpeed C, with the shareware RamStart and after a
couple of months now, it decided to staop working!!

What I have been doing:

-	Boot up a boot floppy that starts up RamStart to make a
	RamDisk of 400K. This has MacsBug and the System file has
	only 4 DAs (Chooser, ControlPanel, IconMaker, BasetoBase).
	Cache is set on  to 256K.

-	Once up, I put in my LSC disk (has LSC, Mac includes, Mac
	libraries, a project folder: ~166K space left on it).

-	Start up one of my projects, that I compiled into an 
	application just 4 days ago and now LSC blows up at the 
	first or second line with "Out of Memory". Nothing changed
	in the source, The control panel looks the same as 4 days
	ago. 

-	I added DiskInfo DA to the System File and checked how much
	memory was free (in LSC project, with 400K RamDisk, cache on
	to 256K, etc) and it answered  48K. 

Now I don't know how much was free 4 days ago, but what ever amount
it was, it was enough to compile this small application! 

I ran a memory check (simple walking pattern through high and low memory
and it all tested fine (it said it tested 1 Meg's worth.

What to do now????????	Think, what do you say? Hey, by the way, I didn't
see a mention of OutOfMemory in your manual(compiler error message section)
Is it there somewhere? 

---------------------------------------------------------------------
PS I hope you'all have some good answer (like parameter Ram reset 
or something - I'll check that tonight) because I'm REALLY tight 
on ca$h - buying a house - come over sometime when I get it!)
