Firstly, thank-you for your response - I am responding by news because I
couldn't get through with mail.  Secondly, I am not aware of putting
any of my methods into MARes or MAScroll.  In fact, I just did a test - I
took the DrawShapes sample program, requested the inclusion of UTEView and
UDialog, added a couple of statements to reference methods in these units,
and attempted to build it with 'debug' set.  The segment GRes was too large.

I can only conclude from this simple test that my original assumption
was correct, namely that the supplied units were not properly segmented 
and that there is little I can do about it.

Charles Lakos.
