 had many years ago a similar problem with memory and my POS
application.

Now even with my DOS version I have no more problem since I switch
linker
I now use CAUSEWAY for Clipper and the footprint of the EXE in memory
is 256K base memory
the rest is in extended memory.

By the Way CAUSEWAY is now FREE from devore software.

If you want to use Causeway I can send you an example of my link file
with this NO MORE PLL. just one EXE.
