//This program demonstrates allocating greater than 64k of memory in a 
//16-bit Windows application.  To accomplish this, we must do 3 things.
//
// 1. Use a huge pointers.
// 2. Allocate the memory on the heap, not in the automatic data segment.
//    Specifically, we must use 'new' and not try to allocate data  
//    globally or even locally in a function. 
// 3. Make the size of the elements of the memory block a power of 2. 
//    Otherwise, an element of the memory block will stradle the 64k
//    segment boundaries, and the huge pointer, when incremented across
//    those boundaries, will not subsequently point to the beginning of 
//    and element.
//

// Memory Management" by Mike Klein, Sams Publishing 1994.
//
//Compile using the following command,
//
//  bcc -v -ml -tWE thisfile.cpp
