I am finially nearing the end of a rather larger (>3500 lines) Turbo pascal 
5.5 program.  Throughout development, I've ran into many memory problems. 
Thanks to anothe UseNetter, I learned I had to put a

	STACKS=18,256       (was 18,128 until last week, defult is 9,??)

The last thing I need to add is a backup capability.  I was going to the 
program write and EXEC a .BAT file, but I don't think I can give EXEC enough
memory.  If I use $M to set heapmax low enough for EXEC, ny NEWs barf, if 
it's not high enough EXEC does not run, DOSERROR=8.

All I have in the .BAT is three COPY *.xxx commands, anyway to do this 
without re-starting COMMAND.COM?

This program has many varibles, both static and dynamic, and has its own
timer interupt handler.  

Any halp is greatly appreaciated.
