Possible to increase 256 Mb Memory Limit? (Windows 2000)

[Richard Thomas]

Apologies if this is an old issue, but I couldn't find any relevant 
answers in the 2004 archive or the online help..

I have installed octave-2.1.42-windows-atlas.exe binary from 
octave.sf.net on a Windows2000 PC, selecting the octave-2.1.42-p4atlas 
version. Although I have ~ 1 Gb memory, Octave seems to give a "memory 
exhausted" error message when it hits the 256 Mb boundary, for example 
by typing the following:

 clear all; a = zeros(5000,6000);

Is there any way to increase this memory limit? (preferably without 
having to compile from source code, or to install cygwin standalone).
