Hello Chris,

  Thank you for your suggestions. It seems I should to process each
  file separately and determine max and min value as you suggested.

  As concerned memory usage that according "ps" or Dx information box
  dxexec using not more then 40 MB when I have about 1 GB free
  physical memory on my computer. And all my data file is about 180 Mb
  in size.  I also check limits, it seems everything Ok
  (1 GB datasize, 65 MB stacksize ).


  Thank you again,
