I don't know about Aztek but Lattice has a limit on arrays of 65533
when you use 16 bit integers and 4294967295 with 32 bit integers.
I guess you can do something like this

char *MEMORY;
MEMORY=AllocMem(65536,MEMF_CLEAR);

That was one of the first problems I had during the port of Abermud.
(I still haven't finished the port, but i solved the problem with $)

The solution is that the $ is a part of the indentifier and you could
discard it without any problems. ( just do it everytime it occurs )

It seems that the Amiga compilers and the Unix compilers have some
differences in what's allowed in an identifier.
