I am using Visual Fortran 6.0 on a system with 2 GB of RAM and Windows 200 Professional. I do dynamic memory allocation in my program for large arrays. However, whatever the pagefile size (1 GB or 3 GB), the limit on the arrays size is always the same. Is there a way around this ?
Thank you

You are limited by the operating system to 2Gb of virtual memory space. The way around it is to use a 64 bit OS or if 3Gb is enough, there are some options, see previous discussion.
