I'm developing a piece of software that requires up to about 20Mb ram and am unable to find any sure way of allocating it this much space. I know all about setting the allocation manually using the CMD-I menu, but I am continually recompiling the executable file and the size keeps getting reset to whatever the system deems suitable, which inevitably causes a total system crash. If this resetting the size was predictable it would make life a bit easier, but it's not. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't suppose there's anything in your compiler's documentation (read: help) about forcing a certain RAM allocation, is there? What compiler is it, by the way?
I'm using Absoft ProFortran 6.2. The user guide talks about setting up a SIZE resource and defining the memory requirements there, unfortunately though it also says that the manual allocation setting takes precedence. I suppose the next question would be: is there any way of eliminating the manual SIZE resource, so that my codes' SIZE resource is used? (which, in theory at least, could solve the problem)
