`alo, `alo!

I am about to plunge myself into converting some FORTRAN code into
xfcn for a stack for the research facility nearby.  The FORTRAN code
use lots and lots of arrays and do lots and lots of matrix
computation.  Bluaghhhhh....

My question is:  Is there a limit in the data block?  The magic number
32K keeps come up on my mind.  I am afraid that I will be creating
6-7 hugh arrays in my xfcn.  Is this going to be a problem?  Right
now, I am reading books about writing xcmd/xfcn (never wrote one yet).

Please email.  Thank you in advance.

Live Long and Perspire!
