- What's probably going on is that the -program- you are running needs more
- memory to run in. Do a GET INFO on the program and at the bottom, it should
- say something like:
-
- Suggested size: 900K
- Actual size: 900K
-
- (or whatever number is there).
-
- So you need to change the Actual Size. Raise it up a little and then see if
- the program will run. If not, give it some more memory. Hopefully, this should
- solve your problem.
