What flavor of Basic are you using?  If you're using QBasic I can definitely
see where you're running into a problem (64K memory limit for data).  If you
send me the code I can do a quick VB port for you since the code is so similar.
VB doesn't have the strict memory requirements that QB does and can still run
without having a user interface pop up.

Well, on second thought, I can do it if you're using Windows. :) If you're using
Linux or something like that then a C++ port will probably be the way to go.
