Assuming you need actual RAM space and not a file that's >$FFF0 bytes, you could
use HeapAllocHigh twice to get two memory areas in a row. Just remember to save
the info in the beginning of the second block for when you de-allocate it.
Or you could just play dirty and assume that the high memory is free. ;)

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and

me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"
