This is the error message you get if a memory allocation request fails.
(Perhaps this is obvious, but you usually do *not* get this message from
compiler confusion, etc.)

For some reason the TADS compiler must not be getting enough memory. How
much memory does your Mac have? You should be able to compile TEST.T with
a meg of memory --- certainly with two megs.

You might try turning off virtual memory if you have it on. I've gotten
the impression that Mac virtual memory tends to make some things fail.

Maybe our resident TADS/Mac guru, Neil Guy, can shed some light on this.
