As soon as I implement REDIM PRESERVE I will make all arrays within the compiler dynamically resize to take advantage of all available resources if necessary, so expect that 200K to increase.

Also, you mentioned your big SCREEN 0 programs don't run. Note that I haven't fixed the REM!, ELSE 2000 or implemented LOCK yet. Could this be why? If not, it would be nice to know the actual reason(s). Can I test these personally? If you want you can post them to my Email address so I can work on the issues behind the scenes.

Most QBASIC programs which don't run now use things like multiple modules, libraries, CHAIN, DRAW, ENVIRON$ or as yet unsupported interrupts/machine code. It could also be that QB64 still mistakenly passes (a) by reference not by value but that shouldn't affect compilation imo.
