Aaron: Just a few comments about that code, if you don't mind:

1) In the middle of the procedure, you allocate some storage 
assigning the address to variable PTR. You then assign another 
address to PTR in the next statement, which means you lose 
addressability to the storage allocated.

2) A little later, there's a MONITOR group, and the ON-ERROR clause 
calls the exception "Error reading Standard Input". But the call to 
qtmhRdStin is before the start of the MONITOR group.

Since you claim your code works up to 11MB, can we assume you 
haven't posted the working code yet to your web site? Maybe I'm 
missing something, but from a quick inspection, it looks like this 
code can't handle files over 32K.

Cheers! Hans
