You didn't mention whether you had one huge array of data or lots of small
arrays.  If you don't need to access arrays >64K then one solution is to 
use EMS memory. TP 4/5/5.5 comes with an example program that shows how to
access EMS memory from within TP.  It isn't exceptionally pretty, but it can
work. (transfering data from one EMS array to another EMS array might be
rather kludgy)

Just a thought,
