Hello,

I'm using S-Plus 3.3 release 1 as well as S-Plus 2000. For certain
statistical regression models I apply my own FORTRAN 77 code compiled
with the WATCOM FORTRAN compiler version 10.6. This is achieved by

dyn.load("c:\\[path]\\program.obj")

and works fine with both S-Plus versions unless I have a larger dataset
(matrix). Recently I bought a more powerful Pentium II PC (400Mhz) with
192 MB of RAM but the restrictions in data size have remained the same
(before, I thought that 40 MB of RAM were not sufficient). When I have,
say, 200 observations in five variables, S-Plus crashes with the
Windows message "irregular condition". For a smaller data set everthing
is fine.

Do you think this is a RAM allocation problem?

How can I take advantage of my 192 MB of RAM within S-Plus?

Could there be additional reasons for this error message?

Any hint is most welcome. Thanks in advance. 

Thomas
