I found still more information on the large array topic. It seems that if I start qb.exe from the DOS-PROMPT window, using the /ah switch (arrays huge switch), thus:
qb /ah
I can now get an array(43,43,43), corresponding to 43^3 = 79,507 elements = 79,507*4 = 318,028 bytes, again, the available memory for this DOS program.
BUT, I also learned that, for QB7, one can use the metacommand, '$DYNAMIC, to generate arrays in far memory. So, give it a try! Me, I'm still looking for qb7.
