I have contacted Stata technical support asking how to overcome this
issue of only being able to allocate 1G of memory. I have 140G
available for use on my computer yet no more than 1G is accessible,
doesn't make much sense to me! I shall post StataTech reply/solution to
the list when i hear back from them.
