Hi!
I have a problem with allocating big portions of memory with malloc().
It seems not to be possible to get more than 10 MB with C68 programs.
After browsing thru the C68 library sources I found a variable _memmax
that's limiting memory to 9999999 bytes. What ist the right way to
increase this value? Setting it again in my own program?
Thanx
Claus

AFAIK, yes. Stuff like gs uses a similar trick to get a bigger stack
than default.
