The Microsoft QuickC Version 2.00 command-line compiler QCL may
generate the following fatal-errors when there is not enough memory:

   C1059  out of near heap space

   C1060  out of far heap space

   D2027  could not execute 'qccom.exe'

QuickC requires a minimum of 448K of available conventional DOS memory
(512K recommended for larger applications) for proper operation.

To check your available memory, use the DOS "chkdsk" program. The last
number on the screen is your available memory.

Note: If there is only a small amount of RAM available (less than 40K)
QCL may hang.
