Description:
Q. Why doesn't the Exec procedure execute my subprograms?
A. Make certain that you use the {$M} directive to set
     the maximum heap size to the lowest possible value.  If this
     is done, check the value of the variable DosError to
     diagnose other problems. What is DosError Returning after
     the call:

     8) Not enough Memory:  User needs to lower MAX Heap
                            {$M Stack, Min, Max}
     2) File not found:  User needs to specify the fill Path and
                         extension of the command.  If you're
                         trying to execute a DOS internal
                         command, you need to use COMMAND.COM
                         (see DIR example in manual).
