	I am trying to write a fast_fourier_transform routine to analyze 2D
images.  I have tried to use both MPW C 3.0 and MPW Fortran 2.1.  The
original subroutine is from Numerical Recipes.  My image size is 512x480.
The routine requires a float array size of 2x512x480.  I have not been
successfull to allocate this huge memory space regardless that I used
pointer in C or dimension in Fortran.
	Can any expert on the net give me some hints?
	Thanks in advance.

Fang
