RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Free Pascal/TurboCNC

Jerry,

Don't know if this will help as I'm not a Pascal programmer, however in the
old days when compiling C programs for DOS the default HEAP was quite small
and if you had a lot of global variables could easily overflow. The solution
was to specify a larger HEAP during linking.

Cheers,

Mark
