Hello folks, I need some help. I'm currently developing an application
to take Sun raster files, and turn them into PICTII files Using Lightspeed
C. Well the code works, but I have one problem left.  Memory.  I'm working
with raster files that are fairly large (512x512) and I need a lot of
memory. Which I shouldn't think would be a problem as I have 2meg in my 
Mac II. However, I can only seem to get Lightspeed C to give me 384K.

I've tried playing around with the memory manager calls in IM Vol 2.
However, they don't seem to do much good. Is this because I'm running
multi-finder? What do I have to do to twist Lightspeed to give me more
memory? I've already selected the more memory option. Anybody have any
idea on how I can get around this problem.
