Hey thanks for the replies-
I ordered a copy of Borland Turbo C 4.5 off ebay since it was pretty cheap. The free version 2 that is available for free download is giving me linker errors that have me pulling what's left of my hair out! I will also try the other free compiler. The input file size that is puking the DOS program seems to be around 100kb. The program (I think) is probably trying to read the whole input file into memory, then parse it apart/cycle line by line. That's just a guess. It could also just be puking because it is poorly written and has a bunch of recursion or something like that. Oh well, I will never know- all I can do is try to get a linker to be happy about the functions in the LIB file I was given. I'll keep ya posted. This is a pain, but I am learning a bunch of stuff so its ok for now.
-Mike
