Hi Udo, The "fly in the ointment" is that we don't have any control over the "blind spots" in the BC3.X heap manager nor any control over the overlay manager....
... Joe, both memory allocations and loading of overlays are usually all-or-nothing operations; either there is enough memory or not. So this means that your...

Hi Udo, While allocations are an all-or-nothing affair, I don't share your confidence that the BC run-time accurately detects failure when memory is marginal....
