Memory Allocation Error

[Derrick King]

I am running a DOS program with a small batch file and it fails the error
'203 ERROR Memory Allocation Error'.

Does anyone know what this means. Unfortunately I can't get in touch with
the company that wrote the program as they are no longer in business.

Thanks

It means exactly that, it failed to allocate the necessary memory.
Since it's a legacy DOS application, my guess is that it's trying to run
in the 640k lower memory. I recall some how being able to "simulate"
more lower memory in Windows 2000 by using the upper memory. I thought
it was something you could set in the properties of a command prompt but
I am unable to locate it now.
