Can some kind soul give me some help and tell me how to manage
large resouce files?  I have large PICT resources (aprox. 10k)
and large 'snd ' resources (aprox. 7k) and would like to be able
to show or play 60 of them (at least twice).  What sequence of
GetResource(), LoadResource(), ReleaseResource(), DisposHandle(),
or CompactMem(), should I use to keep the heap from fragmenting and
from running out of memory.  I know this is too easy for many of
you but I'd appreciate the help.  Thanks.  BTW, I'm using Think C
3.01. on a Mac IIcx w/ 2 meg.
