Summary: memory model problem


  I also had a problem with editing files over 20k on the PC but after 
recompiling everything using the large memory model the problem went away.
If you are having this problem and are using the large model I would report
it to the compiler writters and not to the emacs writters. :-)
  The error you get is "can't allocate xx bytes" and the message is put out 
when malloc() fails as he tries to build the linked list containing the file
you are editing.
  Hope this info helps.  I have found Microemacs to be about the best editor
I have used on my PC so far.
