I have an assignment in which I must write a program which solves a
letter 'Jumble'. User types in some letters (rivfey, for example), all
permutations (different combinations) of the letters are put into a
vector ( vector<string> ) and each permutation is compared to another
vector of strings containing about 20,000 words (a dictionary) to get
the answer (verify). Problem is I run out of memory.  Both
vector<string> 's are big and solving a 6 letter Jumble causes the
program to crash (5 is okay). I am referencing the vectors. How do I
allow the program to use more memory?

I'm using DJGPP in WIN95 and have 64Mb of RAM.

Thanks.
