Do it, if possible.  I went 64-128 and don't know how I 
managed before.  W95 is a resource hog.... the first
32 MB is basically used up by it.  So 64->128 triples
available memory.

Look at the "peak memory used" data on your output.... if
it's more than 20-30MB, you probably want to upgrade.

Yes.... well, actually, you continue after the last
completed line which was written to the file.

Look up "Continue_Trace" or "+C" in "General Output
Options" in the docs.
