You extend the heap in a roundabout way: put part of the program
in EMS overlays. This frees up memory below the 640k boundary,
which in turn leaves more available for the heap.

Of course, if your program is small andd you have a LOT of data,
this won't work. Swapping heap data to a ram-disk with blockread
might then be the answer.
