- I wrote a program that uses metafiles to display graphics in a Windows
- application. My problem is this. If I run the program off my hard drive, no
- problem but as soon as I try running it off a floppy I get an out of memory
- error prompting me to close one or more applications. After closing my other
- applications the program still gives me the same error. My program is about
- 720K and uses 6 metafiles of about 65K each that are binded as resources using
- the Borland resource workshop.
-
-
- This poses a real headache for me since I wish to distribute the program and be
- able to run it off the floppy. When I included only 1 metafile in the program I
- had no problem but as soon as I added the other 5 it bombs. I could have the
- program access the metafiles directly off the disk but this slows down the
- program considerably.
-
- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
