        That's what I gather.  But I've doen FAR larger
        programs.  In fact this error only occured twice
        once before back in the 286 coding days and
        it was more a computer thing then a compiler thing :)
        I've actually added another unit and more code
        since that error first came up (well actually
        took one procedure out to a new unit to add
        tons of code to it) and no such error.  Go figure.
        I'm convinced there a fwe oddities when coding un
        der windows with bp's compiler (dos shell).
        Including compile one day and not another
        kinda things.  So far its no big deal just
        odd quirks of some odd software :)

        I may end up dividing the program into 4 individual
        EXEs anyways eventually since its a huge project.
        Not too efficient - old school coding but
        it might work and save some sanity in terms
        of project code :)
