[Info-vax] Pascal query

Hi,

I've had to use Pascal to shift some data around from one set of common 
memory images on a Vax to the new ones on an Itanium. Anyway, I wrote a 
quick program to dump the contents into a file which could then be compiled 
on the Itanium and run to populate the data structures. This program just 
would not compile. All it consists of is a (hell of a) lot variable:=value; 
statements. I kept getting insufficient virtual memory errors so I played 
with the quotas and the page file until I hit a 20gb pagefile and a process 
pagefile quota of 20,000,000. I then split the results into much smaller 
chunks to get them to compile.

There's probably around 1.2 million assignment statements altogether. Can 
anyone suggest why the program wouldn't compile?

Thanks,

Ade
