Summary: The “insufficient memory” message means that there is not enough RAM (Random Access Memory) available to load the spreadsheet. You will have to divide the spreadsheet into smaller parts. Before you can do this, you will have to load the file once; then save it in parts. If your system has less than 640K, you could obtain more memory (up to the 640K limit of which Multiplan can use) from your hardware dealer. Or, you could start Multiplan on another computer that already has 640K and do the work of loading the file and saving it in separate parts. Another possibility is to disable any and all memory resident programs that run on the system to free enough memory to load the worksheet. Finally, you could boot the computer with an earlier version of DOS. DOS has grown in size over subsequent versions. For instance, if you are currently using DOS Version 3.20, try booting with DOS Version 2.x before attempting to load the spreadsheet.
