no idea what QB64PE resolves it to, though

I swear I can recall the need to make all my arrays in QuickBASIC to get my programs to run. STATIC arrays used up too much memory, probably from the stack space. You could use the CLEAR command with parameters to set stack space and memory allocation ratios, to some degree. I always needed more stack space. Life was so much harder then, 20 years ago...
