Thank you very much for your response, Kit.
Yes, I'm using 32-bit version of STATA (STATA10) and Windows.
However, the problem also happend with the same error message as when
I allocated 1G memory for STATA.
With my old computer (1G ram), I was able to allocate 1G memory for
STATA, but with my new computer (with much more ram, 3G) I can't
allocate memory more than 850m.
Do you know why?
Thank you very much again.
Best,
Charlie
