IIRC there is a maximum size of  the heap space in an activation
group of 16 mb.


The most heap you can allocate at once is:

16776704 bytes

(using ALLOC or %Alloc() ).

There is nothing to keep you from doing that any number of times.
I have some documentation tools that regularly use hundreds of
MB of heap storage.


Also, if you replace the ALLOC opcode with a call to
_C_TS_malloc (out of the C Run-time library) the limit is:

2147483408 bytes.

Plenty for almost all daily uses.
