LARGE! The problem isn't in OS/2, but rather in MSW on DOS. I have a bit of understanding on the way MSW handles memory (if you are curios, I believe Petzold has a pretty good description), and you really cannot use LARGE model in MSW. A lot of this has to do with how multiple instances of movable data segments are handled. [The real problem is that MSW is trying to do memory management in software without hardware support. The curse of living in the DOS/8086 real-mode world.] --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
