Due to a lack of resources, all development for the
Engine thusfar has been done under Windows 95 and
Windows 98 machines. The code appears to compile fine
under the Virtual DOS Machine.

However, on a recent run on a DOS machine, the engine
reported Out of Memory immediatly on startup. The
machine had more than enough available Conventional
and Extended Memory to be able to do it's job.

Upon further investigation, there are too many SELECT
CASE statement in the EngLang() processor sub.
Windows allocates Memory differently than a Pure DOS
machine, one fatal design flaw we did not recognize.

A review of this issue WILL need to be made
immediatly and a patch released ASAP.
